Three honorees in the same season are the most in program history
NORMAN, Okla. – The Golf Coaches Association of America (GCAA) has named Georgia Southern's Cody O'Toole, Archer Price and Jake Storey Cleveland Golf/Srixon All-America Scholars.
It's the most honorees for the award in a season in program history, and O'Toole wins the award for the second straight year.
"I'm so proud of this achievement for Archer, Cody and Jake," said head coach Carter Collins. "You cannot win this prestigious award without accomplishing great things in the classroom while taking an upperclassman schedule and traveling a tremendous amount. Not only is this award a reflection of the hard work these three have put in, but it is also reflects the importance of Georgia Southern Student-Athlete Services to this program. Ashleigh Rasheed and Reggie Simpkins do a wonderful job of monitoring academics and pushing our entire team to achieve their best. It is one of the most prestigious awards that a college golfer can achieve, and I'm sure that Archer, Cody and Jake are proud."
O'Toole tallied a 75.33 scoring average in nine events and 27 rounds and placed in the top-5 once as a senior. He shot a season low 70 twice – at the Wolfpack Collegiate and at the GS Individual Collegiate, where he took fifth.
Price was named second-team All-Sun Belt after logging eight top-30 finishes and tying for 10th at the Sun Belt Championship. He ranked third on the team in scoring average (72.72), carded par or better in 17 rounds and won both of his matches in match play at the Sun Belt Championship.
Storey was named the Sun Belt Golfer of the Year and first-team All-Sun Belt. He was second on the team in scoring average with a mark of 71.61 and posted four top-10 finishes, including two wins and three in the top-5. He shot par or better in 19 rounds, including nine of the last 13 of the season.
To be eligible for Cleveland Golf/Srixon All-America Scholar status, an individual must be a junior or senior academically, compete in at least three full years at the collegiate level, participate in 50 percent of his team's competitive rounds, have a stroke-average under 76.0 in Division I, 78.0 in Division II, 78.0 in NAIA and 79.0 in Division III, and maintain a minimum cumulative career grade-point average of 3.2. A recipient must also be of high moral character and be in good standing at his college or university.
A total of 260 players in Division I, 108 in Division II and 20 in NAIA earned the honor. Additionally, 46 honorees were added to the previously-released Division III Cleveland Golf/Srixon All-America Scholars.
