BOCA RATON, Fla. – The Florida Atlantic University men's golf team signed Florida Tech graduate transfer Evan Thompson on Thursday. A dual-sport athlete for the Panthers, Thompson will make his Owls golf debut in the spring of 2021.Â
"We are really looking forward to having Evan join our squad for the spring season in 2021," FAU golf coach
Ryan Jamison said. "We have a lot of goals that we want to accomplish in the spring and Evan will help us reach these. He has showed tremendous growth at Florida Tech under head coach Chris Saltmarsh and we look forward to watching him develop over the next two years and beyond."
This past season, Thompson played a total of 11 rounds across four tournaments for the Panthers. The senior and Clermont, Florida native notched a 74.36 scoring average for the year.
Thompson also stood out for Florida Tech's now defunct football program. In 2019, the linebacker earned NCAA Division II All-American honors after posting 89 tackles, 5.5 sacks, a forced fumble and interception. He was 120 tackles away from becoming the program's all-time leading tackler.
