Levi and Evan are talking with one of the coolest guys you’ll ever meet, actor Caleb Castille. Caleb has played roles on TV and in movies. You may know him from shows like "NCIS:LA" and Hulu’s "Wu Tang, an American Saga" or the movies "The World We Make" and "Woodlawn."  Before his acting career took off, Caleb spent three seasons playing football at the University of Alabama where his father and two brothers played as well.

On Episode 9, Evan and Levi chat with Levi’s friend and former teammate Malcolm Miller of the Toronto Raptors. Malcolm played four years at Holy Cross and has spent five years as a professional, including the last three seasons with the Toronto Raptors. He’s a big time grinder that didn’t let being overlooked keep him from dreaming and we’re so excited for you to hear his story.

This week we’re talking with two of Levi’s college teammates and close friends, Trevor Releford and Andrew Steele.

Trevor was a four year starter at Alabama. He was named to the SEC All-Rookie Team in 2011, was Second-Team All-SEC in 2012, First-Team All Defensive Team in 2013, and All-SEC First Team in 2013 and 2014. He is currently finishing up his 6th professional season.

Andrew was a big time high school basketball and football recruit in the state of Alabama. He battled injury after injury in college, always fighting and scrapping his way back and embodying the backdoor mentality, which we get into during the show. After his playing career, Andrew jumped into the coaching ranks at his alma mater John Carroll High School in Birmingham, Alabama. After coaching stints with Troy University and the University of South Alabama, Andrew made his way back to Tuscaloosa where he is currently on the basketball operations staff with the Crimson Tide.
