North Carolina A&T

Steven's legacy within men's basketball was marked by his leadership, scoring ability, and being arguably the best shooter in school history. He led the Aggies to two of the biggest wins in school history, defeating DePaul University (Big East)and Southern Methodist University  (Conference USA). Steve had 40 points in the win over DePaul and 22 points and seven rebounds against SMU. 
He broke the single-season 3-pointers made a record (115), tied the single-game 3-pointers made record (8), then broke it twice with nine and then 10 3-pointers in a game. 
He broke the career free throw percentage record (.855) and became the fifth Aggie to score more than 500 points in his first season. The sharp-shooter was 16 3-pointers shy of the career record after two seasons in Aggieland. 
As the 20th player in A&T history to earn first-team All-MEAC honors (2007), Steven also earned both team MVP and the A&T male athlete of the year award twice (2007 & 2008). He was selected to the MEAC all-tournament team (2007), the All-NCCSIA second team, and made second-team All-MEAC (2008). 
Committed to excellence on and off the court, Steven graduated magna cum laude (c/0 2008,  B.S. chemistry). In addition, he served as President of the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee,  President of the InRoads NC Triangle chapter, earned All-MEAC academic honors (2007,  2008), and received the A&T Alumni Award (2007) for displaying the most positive publicity.  After playing professionally in Germany and England, Dr. Rush earned his pharmacy doctorate from MCPHS University (c/0 2015), serving as Student Government President and receiving the  Dean's award. 
After pharmacy school, Lieutenant Commander Rush joined Active-Duty ranks within the United  States Public Health Service. He previously worked as the Chief Pharmacist for ICE Health  Services Corps and was named the 2017 Employee of the Year. Additionally, he is employed within the Department of Defense in health care administration. Steven was no stranger to  Aggieland, following his mother's footsteps, Hope Rush, who starred on the women's basketball team (1987-1992). In his free time, Steven enjoys spending time with family and coaching/mentoring youth as they pursue their passion and purpose in life.
