Jack Oreal '27 Recruiting Profile

I am extremely driven, disciplined, and always eager to learn and improve. I enjoy working hard in the classroom, on the golf course, and in the gym. As a three-sport athlete enrolled in all Honors classes at Newburyport High School, I completed my first high school semester with straight As and a 4.76 GPA.

I have been competing in tournament golf since the age of seven, and over the past three seasons, my handicap has improved from a 12 to a 7, and most recently, to a 2 in 2024.

I recently completed my sophomore golf season with one of the strongest individual and team performances in our school’s recent history, helping our team reach the State Finals for the first time. After shooting a 33 on the front nine, I held the individual lead for the state title, ultimately finishing just short of victory. I achieved the best scoring average (37.4) in the Cape Ann League conference, which also marked the best scoring average in recent team history. I was awarded both Cape Ann League Player of the Year and Newburyport High School MVP.

During the 2024 New England Junior PGA Tour season, I ranked #3 out of 311 golfers while being one of the youngest competitors in the 16-18-year-old division. Competing in 14 tournaments, I achieved ten top-10 finishes, including five top-3 finishes, with scores of 75 or better in each of my top-3 finishes. My season also included a career tournament low of 71.

As a freshman on the varsity team, I finished with a scoring average of 38.6. I shot a 77 at the Massachusetts State Championship Qualifier, achieving the fifth-best score out of 78 players. I earned First Team All-Conference and was named Newburyport High School MVP—the first time a freshman received this award.

My goal is to find the right college or university where I can thrive as a student-athlete. I am excited about the opportunity to make a positive impact in a collegiate community and on a golf team. I am confident that my best days in the classroom and on the golf course are still ahead of me.
