Jacob Beckman is now officially a Badger.
Beckman, a senior at Middleton High School, signed his National Letter of Intent last week to play men’s golf at the University of Wisconsin.
Beckman had made a verbal commitment to play for the Badgers in Dec., 2019, then made it official last week.
“We continue to prioritize the top players from Wisconsin and we are thrilled to have Jacob join the program,” Wisconsin coach Michael Burcin said. “He comes from a very competitive high school golf environment. Moving to the Madison area from the northeast a few years ago, he will be familiar and comfortable in Madison and playing golf all over the nation.”
Beckman’s achievements include:
• No. 1 ranked player in Wisconsin by Wisconsin.golf.
• Fifth place at the 2020 WPGA Junior Championship.
• Fifteenth place at the 2020 Wisconsin Junior Boys Championship.
• Fourth place at the 2020 Lake Arrowhead Invitational.
