Oklahoma State flexed its brain and its brawn this past spring.
The Big 12 announced its Spring Scholar-Athletes of the Year and OSU claimed the designation in three of the nine sports. Zach Ehrhard (Baseball), Isaac Becroft (Men’s Tennis) and Alex Maier (Men’s Track and Field) all showcased their strengths in the classroom and on the field and will take home some hardware for their efforts.
Ehrhard: The Cowboy outfielder who earned First-Team honors this past season has now taken home OSU’s first ever Big 12 Baseball Scholar-Athlete of the Year.
Ehrhard boasted a 3.84 grade point average and was named to his second Academic All-Big 12 First Team this past season. He was also a 2024 CSC Academic All-America finalist and was named to the CSC Academic All-District Team.
While his academic acumen may be a surprise to OSU fans, his successes on the field are not. Ehrhard earned All-Big 12 First Team honors after batting .330, crushing 14 home runs and 57 RBIs. His 75 runs scored led the league and ranked 19th nationally.
Becroft: The senior from New Zealand was one of six Cowboys from the tennis program to earn All-Big 12 Academic First Team honors. This was the second time he’s earn inclusion on that list.
Maier: The graduate student from Flower Mound, Texas was one of 25 Cowboys from the track & field program to be named to the Spring Academic All-Big 12 teams.
Scholar-Athlete of the Year nominees must be juniors or seniors, hold a cumulative GPA of at least 3.20 and have participated in 20 percent of their team’s scheduled contests with a minimum of one year at their specific school.
