His play increased as a sophomore where he played in 55 games with 52 starts for the Gamecocks in 2023. LeCroy hit .289 with 39 runs scored, 10 doubles, a triple, four home runs and 42 RBI

As a junior in 2024, LeCroy played in all 62 games making 60 starts, helping the Gamecocks to a berth in the Raleigh Regional. He finished that season scoring 45 runs, had eight doubles to go along with a triple, three home runs, 28 RBI, 38 walks and 14 hit-by-pitches.
