Men's Golf Signs No. 9 Recruiting Class

NORMAN – First-year Oklahoma head men's golf coach Jonathan Moore announced the signing of three standout junior golfers Wednesday as the NCAA's early signing period opened.

The trio of Stuart Boulware, Banks Cozby and Isaiah Igo will join the Sooners ahead of the 2027-28 season and comprise the nation's No. 9 recruiting class, according to College Golf Commits, a junior golf recruiting outlet.

"I'm incredibly excited about our first signing class here at Oklahoma," Moore said. "These three young men have everything we're looking for as we continue building the culture of Oklahoma Golf. They're accountable, respectful, competitive and have elite work ethics, all qualities we pride ourselves on as a program. Each brings something special to our team, and we believe they'll help elevate Oklahoma Golf to the next level. We can't wait to get them to Norman and get to work."

STUART BOULWARE | FAIRWAY, KAN.

Boulware headlines the Sooners' signing class as the nation's No. 22 prospect in Junior Golf Scoreboard's 2027 rankings. The Fairway, Kan., product finished third in stroke play at the 2025 U.S. Junior Amateur and added a top-five finish at the Notah Begay Junior National Championship. In 2026, he posted a top-five finish at the Junior Orange Bowl International and a top-15 showing at the Dustin Johnson World Junior. Boulware also finished 18th at the Elite Invitational and 17th at the Kansas Amateur.

"Stuart burst onto the national scene a couple of years ago at the U.S. Junior Amateur and hasn't looked back since," Moore said. "He's established himself as one of the top players in his class and has proven he can compete at the highest level. Just as importantly, he's a high-character young man with a tremendous work ethic. We're excited about what he'll bring to our program, and I couldn't be happier that he's a Sooner."

BANKS COZBY | TULSA, OKLA.

Cozby, a Tulsa, Okla., native, joins the Sooners as one of the state's top prospects and will continue a family legacy at Oklahoma. His father, Cary, starred for the OU men's golf program from 1989-93, while his uncles, Craig and Chance, also played for the Sooners. A standout at Cascia Hall Preparatory School, Cozby recorded two top-five finishes and another top-10 showing on the Oklahoma Junior Golf Tour across 2025 and 2026. He also advanced to the semifinals of the Junior State Amateur and owns two top-five finishes at the Oklahoma high school state championships.

"Banks has been a Sooner his entire life and has an unmatched passion for Oklahoma Golf," Moore said. "Sooner DNA runs through him, and you can see it in the way he competes. He has an incredibly high ceiling, and we believe being in Norman will only elevate his game. Beyond his family ties, Banks has earned this opportunity through his talent and work ethic. He's going to make us better by bringing his absolute best every single day."

ISAIAH IGO | SUNDOWN, TEXAS

Igo arrives in Norman as a top-40 prospect according to College Golf Commits and the nation's No. 57 recruit in the 2027 class per Junior Golf Scoreboard. The Sundown, Texas, product owns three top-five finishes and another top-10 showing on the American Junior Golf Association circuit, along with two top-10 finishes on the Legends Junior Tour. He also posted top-20 finishes at the 2025 Elite Invitational and Southern Junior, further establishing himself among the nation's top junior golfers.

"Isaiah is the son of two coaches from the heart of Texas, and he brings a certain toughness and mentality to our program," Moore said. "He's a 'plow one more row before sunset' type of guy, and that work ethic translates directly to the golf course. He's an elite driver of the golf ball with a putting stroke as smooth as silk. Isaiah is one of the hardest-working and most talented players around, and we can't wait to get him to Norman and introduce him to Sooner Nation."

All three signees will join Oklahoma's roster ahead of the 2027-28 season.
