Peyton Coahran '22 Recruiting Profile

In addition to figuring out and pursuing a quality/useful education, my immediate goal is to find a nationally competitive golf program  where I will be able to spend 100% of my athletic ability/focus on becoming the best golfer I can possibly be. Being a multi-sport/year-around athlete from the north from a middle-class family, I am not currently on the 'national' golf radar screen (have not played any AJGA or other national events, etc. events); however, I have what it takes to compete at the D1 or highest D2 levels and can't wait for the opportunity to prove that one way or other.  In addition, I can't wait to be around others with the same interests/goals/passion so we can push each other in a challenging, competitive environment where everyone is working hard to achieve success both individually and as a team together and where lifelong friendships are developed along the way. I am confident I have the golfing ability, work ethic, demeanor, discipline, time management, decision making and student skills to do my part to make that happen at your program. 

In the past couple of years, golf has become my passion; however, I believe competing at the varsity level in multiple sports (basketball, baseball and football in addition to golf) has made me mentally and physically tougher than I otherwise would have been and has taught me lessons that I can draw on that will help me succeed as a competitive collegiate golfer.  Although I have achieved some recent successes in golf (e.g., MN Junior PGA Player of the Year 2021, 3rd in MN High School Class AA State Tourney, etc.),  I can't wait to be in an environment where I can focus 100% athletically on golf to find out how good I can become, I believe I have only scratched the surface thus far.  Being in a warmer climate than MN won't hurt either!

Although I have not yet determined what major I want to pursue; my schoolwork /education has always come first which will continue no matter what course of study I ultimately choose. 

Thank you for taking the time to get to know me.

Sincerely, Peyton "Peco" Coahran
