Beckman has maintained a weighted 4.50 GPA in the classroom. He will attend St. Olaf College in Minnesota, where he will play soccer, this fall.

Exemplary Character


A member of his local chapter of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes, Beckman has volunteered locally at the Assistance League of Denver Thrift Shop, and he has donated his time to multiple community service initiatives through his church.
