The duo helped lead the Tigers to a 13-15 overall record and a 7-13 mark in GPAC play during the 2025-26 season.

Beckman earned Second Team honors after producing one of the most efficient offensive seasons in the GPAC. The freshman started all 27 games he appeared in and led the Tigers in scoring at 15.0 points per game while shooting 55.5 percent from the field and an impressive 47.7 percent from three-point range. He added 3.7 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 1.6 steals per contest.

During conference play, Beckman elevated his game further, averaging 15.3 points per game while connecting on 54.5 percent of his field goal attempts and 46.4 percent from beyond the arc.
