Santonio Beard is a former running back from the University of Alabama. He left just after his junior season in 2002. Beard's most productive season came in 2002 after the exit of Ahmaad Galloway due to injury. Beard rushed for close to 900 yards his junior season. This was achieved despite splitting carries with former Crimson Tide runningback Shaud Williams. He currently shares a University of Alabama record for the most touchdowns in a single game with five. He is tied with NFL runningback Shaun Alexander. This feat was achieved in 2002 against the University of Mississippi.

Beard's most notable game came against the Auburn Tigers in 2001, in which he and Ahmaad Galloway rushed for close to 300 yards combined. This ultimately lead to the Crimson Tide's first victory against Auburn University at Jordan-Hare Stadium.

Professional

After former coach Dennis Franchione's departure, Beard decided to forego his senior year. However, he was undrafted and signed with a team in the Canadian Football League. He played for theDenver Broncos but was cut after the first season.
