Jared Paldino '26 Recruiting Profile

Since I was a kid, I have played all the sports possible… baseball, soccer, hockey, etc. But when I decided to try out golf and go to the range for the first time, I loved it and went back every single day determined to grow my game. I was able to spend time with my brother, who played golf at the collegiate level, and he pushed me to be the best golfer I could be. I grew a passion for the game and dropped all of the sports I had previously played. After a year and a half of strictly bettering my game and practicing, I began to play tournament golf. Competing against other juniors, seeing myself grow as a golfer, and focusing on only golf is the best decision I have ever made. Golf has taught me to be a more hard-working individual and that translated through my golf and academics. I am confident that my competitiveness, work ethic, and love for golf will make me a great part of the team.
