The Total Person Award is given out to the upperclassman who exemplifies all of the qualities that are wanted in a Kennesaw State student-athlete, including athletic and academic achievement, character, leadership and community service.
 
Beck earned a 3.80 GPA majoring in finance during his time at KSU while becoming the first two time Atlantic Sun Scholar Athlete of the Year. The Columbus, Ga. native was also a 2014 Golf Coaches Association of America All-American (GCAA) Scholar.
 
Beck, who on Thursday (April 30), was a unanimous first team all-conference selection,  is completing one of the finest careers in program history. He ranks second on the Owls with a 71.27 scoring average, has seven Top 20 finishes, six top 10s, and is coming off his best showing of the season after tying for second at the A-Sun Conference Championships.
