SAN MARCOS, Texas – In the latest States Up podcast, Texas State men's basketball's Nighael Ceaser shares how he has personally fought back from an early-season injury, who he models his game after, and what it was like growing up in a family of football players.
 
Ceaser's season got off to a late start due to an injury suffered in October, but in three games so far this year, he is averaging 11.7 points and 7.7 rebounds. He has been a key member of the Bobcats over the last three seasons, including in the back-to-back conference championships in 2021 and 2022.
 
In the podcast, Ceaser also discusses his injury as well as the team's recent setback to Mary Hardin-Baylor, what it was like to take on a new role while he was injured, what he learned from growing up around five siblings, why winning the first championship set the tone for future success, and more.
