Becroft’s accomplishments have not been achieved on the court alone, but also in the classroom. The recent Cowboy tennis alum earned Academic All-America status for the third straight year, joining an elite group of just five Oklahoma State student-athletes who have accomplished that feat.
“We couldn’t be prouder of the career and impact that Isaac had over his four years here at Oklahoma State and to finish it off being named to his third Academic All-American team is only fitting,” head coach Dustin Taylor said. “He’s left a lasting impact and legacy on Cowboy Tennis with his standard of excellence in everything that he does. We are forever grateful and cannot wait to see what the future holds for him.”
Becroft joins Adriane Ballner (Women’s Cross Country/Track and Field – 2018-21), Hannah Webb (Soccer – 2019-21), Ryan Vail (Men’s Cross Country/Track and Field – 2008-10), Tom Wolf (Football – 1972-74) and Vanessa Shippy (Softball – 2016-18) as OSU student-athletes to earn CSC Academic All-America status three or more times.
The three-time Academic All-American stands with a pair of Cowboy tennis standouts to achieve the honor. Oleksandr Nedovyesov (2010) and Frantisek Krepelka (2001, 2002) also garnered the distinction.
The New Zeland native came to Oklahoma State entering his junior year pursuing a degree in finance and will finish his graduate program this summer. Becroft joins the CSC Academic All-American Third Team, having been on both the first and second teams the past two years.
On the court, Becroft leaves OSU with All-America status in doubles, All-Big 12 first-team distinctions in singles (2025) and doubles (2024), All-Big 12 second-team honors in singles in 2024 and was named the 2024 ITA Central Region Most Improved Player. He was also named Big 12 Newcomer of the Year in 2023.
