LEXINGTON, Ky. – The Kentucky men’s golf team has inked two standout golfers during the fall signing period, first-year head coach Gator Todd announced Wednesday. Jacob Lang of Alvaton, Kentucky, and Jacob Settles of Winchester, Kentucky, will join the Wildcats for the 2024-25 season.

Both student-athletes have proven to showcase themselves well not only on the course, but in the classroom as well.

“These two young men are both a perfect fit for our program,” Todd said. “We couldn’t be more excited for them to join our Kentucky golf family. Coach Chip (McDaniel) did an excellent job identifying these young men who will have a big impact on our program.”
