NORMAN, Okla. – On Friday, three Wildcats were given the honor of being named as 2023-24 Cobalt Golf All-America Scholars for NCAA Division I.
The three student-athletes selected include Thomas Buisson, Grégoire Hoyeau and Charlie Jackson. The three Wildcats were a part of 531 NCAA Division I athletes from 180 schools who earned 2023-24 Cobalt Golf All-America Scholar honors. This is Jackson’s second straight All-America Scholar honor, and Buisson and Hoyeau first time receiving the honor.
“I am very proud of Charlie, Greg, and Thomas for earning this honor,” said head coach Tom Shaw. “The Cobalt All-America Scholar award is a true measure of a student-athlete, recognizing the hard work it takes to excel in the classroom while maintaining a high standard of golf playing a full tournament schedule. It is difficult to manage their challenging academic loads and busy tournament schedules, but these young men have proven that they can be disciplined and focused in handling those responsibilities successfully. This is a great honor for all three of them.”
