INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. – Dax Isbell, a rising junior on the University of Tennessee at Martin golf team, was recently chosen on behalf of the Ohio Valley Conference to attend the NCAA Student-Athlete Leadership Forum this fall.
Isbell and Tennessee State women's tennis student-athlete Warona Mdlulwa were picked from a national pool as two OVC representatives. They will both take part in the NCAA Student-Athlete Leadership Forum on Nov. 21-24 in Charlotte, NC.
Created in 1997, the NCAA Student-Athlete Leadership Forum has served as a life-changing experience for more than 5,000 student-athletes who have grown personally and professionally as a result of their attendance. Student-athletes selected to attend the forum return to campus with invaluable leadership skills, a refined understanding of the relationship among personal values, core beliefs and behavioral styles as well as the support of a close personal network of like-minded peers to provide continued connection and dialogue after the program concludes. This best in-class programming experience serves as a transformational opportunity for student-athletes and administrators to build a leadership toolkit and develop vital self-awareness that allows them to realize their potential.
Isbell is coming off an All-OVC campaign in 2023-24, following up on an OVC All-Newcomer nod as a freshman. The Cumming, Ga. native ranked sixth in the OVC with a 72.2 stroke average and placed in the top-10 in exactly half (six of 12) of UT Martin's tournaments. He was named OVC Golfer of the Week three times and was also named to the OVC All-Tournament Team.
Off the course, Isbell is a two-time OVC Commissioner's Honor Roll and GCAA Cobalt Golf All-America Scholar recipient while boasting a 3.86 Grade Point Average as a sport business major. He is also heavily involved in the Skyhawks' Fellowship of Christian Athletes chapter and has helped tutor students at the Martin Enrichment Academy, an afterschool non-profit organization.
