Terran Hoyt enters her second season as an assistant coach and fifth overall with the Cowgirl Basketball program in 2026-27.

A cornerstone of coach Jacie Hoyt’s teams at OSU, Hoyt was elevated to the role of assistant coach prior to the 2025-26 campaign after serving the previous three seasons as the program’s director of basketball administration.

She was recognized by the Women’s Basketball Coaches Association in its 2026 edition of the WBCA Thirty Under 30 list, which recognizes 30 up-and-coming women’s basketball coaches aged 30 and under at all levels of the game.

"Terran is a rising star. She has grown up around the game and played under great coaches. She is a hard worker and the ultimate team player," OSU head coach Jacie Hoyt said. "I am passionate about giving our players strong and positive female role models they can relate to and I have seen firsthand that Terran fits that mold."

Her first season as an assistant coach helped propel OSU to its second consecutive NCAA Tournament appearance and the program's first NCAA Tournament victory under coach Hoyt. The Cowgirls finished the year with a 24-10 record, averaged a school-record 81.5 points per game and became the first team in program history to have five players average double figures in scoring.

She was influential in the development of Micah Gray as she earned WBCA All-America honorable mention and All-Big 12 (third team) recognition, and in Stailee Heard collecting All-Big 12 (second team) honors that season as well.

Off the court, Hoyt was crucial in OSU reeling in the nation’s top transfer class during the 2026 offseason, as the Pokes brought in five players that appeared in the USA Today Top 100 transfers, including the top two prospects, Audi Crooks and Liv McGill.

In her three years as director of basketball administration, OSU reached the NCAA Tournament twice, set a single-season win record (25 in 2024-25), and entered the Associated Press Top 25 for the first time since 2018.

Hoyt came to Stillwater after spending two seasons as a graduate assistant with the staff at Kansas City where she pursued a master's in higher education administration.

As a player, Hoyt competed at Tabor College from 2018-20. She helped Tabor win both the regular season and tournament KCAC titles to qualify for the NAIA national tournament in 2019. Additionally, she was the first player in program history to be selected for the Women's Basketball Coaches Association's "So You Want to Be a Coach" program.

Hoyt was twice selected as a Champion of Character award winner in the conference and was tabbed as both a KCAC and NAIA scholar-athlete on two occasions. An NAIA Academic All-American, she graduated Summa Cum Laude with degrees in communications and business administration.

From 2016-18, Hoyt competed at the University of Nebraska-Kearney where she was named to the MIAA All-Academic squad as well as the MIAA Honor Roll.

During her prep career, Hoyt played for her mother, Shelly, helping Hoxie capture three of the program's four consecutive state titles. She finished her prep career with a record of 101-3 as part of the school's state record run of 107 consecutive victories.
