Gram Middleton enters into his second year as assistant coach with the Hendrix women's basketball program in 2026-27.
Middleton made an instant impact in his first season on the coaching staff, helping Hendrix to a 17-11 record and a share of the SCAC Blue Division regular season championship in 2025-26 as well as a berth to the SCAC Championship game. His work with the post players assisted forward Riley Brady on her way to a clean sweep of the SCAC's end-of-season awards as she became just the third player all-time to win both SCAC Player of the Year and Defensive Player of the Year.
Middleton came to Hendrix from Central Baptist College, where he wrapped up one of the most decorated careers in Mustangs baseball history. Middleton finished as the program leader in career starts (42) and innings pitched (232.2) while recording 257 strikeouts (9.94 K/9). He was a 2024 first team All-Conference selection in the American Midwest Conference as well as a three-time All-AMC Academic Team selection.
