Jensen Riederer '25 Recruiting Profile

I am an aspiring collegiate golfer who is entering into my senior year in High School. I have only been playing competitive tournament golf for the last two years.  While I had success in other sports, I found my true passion in golf. Two years ago I decided to give up all other sports, except mountain bike racing, to focus all my efforts on golf.  I have worked extensively to improve my swing and gain experience competing in many multi-day golf tournaments.   I work with a sports and swing coach and have had rapid and significant improvements in my scoring in tournaments - improving approximately 10-15 strokes from when I began.  For example, this summer I finished second in the Colorado PGA Junior Q-school and had a low round of 72.  I train daily for 3-5 hours, focusing on individual metrics across my game, which will help me continue to improve my scoring and overall  competitiveness,  plus physical aspects to get stronger and improve endurance.

I am in an advanced academic program focused on STEM,  leadership and professional development.  This rigorous four-year environment has an extraordinarily high level curriculum and expectations that develop students far beyond their grade level and prepare them for future advanced degrees,  leadership environments and life.

In addition to academics, I have been a successful multi-sport athlete since I was seven years old. I competed at a high level in cross country (including high school varsity and National Junior Olympics), mountain bike racing, plus playing competitive soccer, basketball & baseball.  All of this is a testament to my athleticism, work ethic and my never give up attitude, which ensures I am prepared and giving my team the best of myself.

I believe you can do anything you set your mind to, as long as you commit fully to it and give everything you have.  I have a never give up attitude, am super excited about my progress and where I am going in the future and would love to compete for a spot on your team.
