A recipient must also be of high moral character and be in good standing at his college or university.
Â
It marks the third such of honor of both Cross and Wolcott's Tennessee careers, as they were both named Srixon/Cleveland Golf All-America Scholars in 2020 and 2021. The duo were also both named to the 2022 SEC Spring Academic Honor Roll.

Cross, an All-America Honorable Mention and First Team All-SEC selection, was the most consistent force in Tennessee's lineup in his final season as a Vol. Cross concluded the 2021-22 season with a 69.33 stroke average—the best single-season stroke average in program history.
Â
Additionally, Cross' 22 rounds of par or better this season were the second-most in program history.
Â
Cross concluded the regular season with his first career collegiate individual title at the Lewis Chitengwa Memorial in Charlottesville, Virginia, and followed it up with a tied-for-fifth-place finish in the stroke play portion of the SEC Championships. He was Tennessee's highest finisher in its final six tournaments. Overall on the season, Cross recorded eight top-20 finishes—including five top-10 finishes.
Â
Off the course, Cross was named to the SEC Community Service Team for the third straight year.
Â
Wolcott finished his Tennessee career having played 131 total rounds in the Orange and White—sixth in program history. He also completed his collegiate career with a 72.37 career scoring average—also sixth in program history.
