A pair of WVU golfers were honored this past week for their combined efforts on the links and inside the classroom, as they were named Cobalt Golf All-America Scholars. The award is handed out annually by the Golf Coaches Association of America (GCAA).
West Virginia native and recent graduate Todd Duncan and senior Kaleb Wilson both were honored with the award from the GCAA. To earn Cobalt Golf All-America Scholar status, golfers must have just completed their sophomore, junior or senior academically at the NCAA or NAIA level. They also need to have played in at least 50% of their team's competitive rounds on the season and finished the year have a stroke average under 76.0 if playing at the Division 1 level while holding a cumulative career grade-point average of 3.2 or higher.
Both Duncan and Wilson were also selected to the PING All-Midwest Region team following the season. Duncan played during every regular season competition, and tied for WVU's best finish (11th) and best round (67) at the Big 12 Championship. The Daniels native and Shady Spring high school alum finished his four-year career with the Mountaineers by posting an average senior season stroke average of 72.23 through 30 rounds of action.
Wilson, meanwhile, held the lowest stroke average on the team for the 2024-2025 season at 71.72 through 33 rounds of competition for the Mountaineers. He won his first-ever collegiate tournament at the Nemacolin Invitational and qualified as an individual for the NCAA Regionals, becoming just the second WVU golfer to achieve the feat.
