Golfer Evan Tyree to Play for Texas A&M University

Senior golfer Evan Tyree has committed to play and attend Texas A&M University. 

“I really fell in love with the school, and I liked the coaches, especially, and all the guys on the team are such good guys,” said Tyree.

Tyree will play for Brian Kortan at the Southeastern Conference school. In his six seasons leading the program, the Aggies earned six NCAA Regional bids and made appearances at the NCAA Championships from 2022-26. 

“The coaches have belief in me as a player,” said Tyree. “They believe I can succeed and be good. All the facilities at A&M are really nice. They have kind of anything you should ask for. The practice facility is really big, and they play a lot of good courses.”

Tyree, who plans to study sports management, joins former Brophy player Tyler Spielman (Auburn) at an SEC school.

“It means a lot,” said Tyree about his collegiate opportunity. “Ever since I was younger, I wanted to play college golf. To keep playing at the next level and have a chance to keep getting better. It's super cool, and I am looking forward to it.”

He completed his career last week with a third team state championship and finished fourth overall. A four-year letter winner for the Broncos, he has been a three-time Sports260 AZ All-Academic selection, earned 2024 and 2025 All-Central Region second-team honors, and participated in three state championships (20th in 2025/70-76 and 29th in 2024/77-77). 

“Evan has been a cornerstone of consistency for our program throughout his four years,” said Head Coach Jon Shores. “His work ethic and commitment to daily improvement are unmatched, driving extraordinary results on the course and establishing him among the state’s elite junior golfers. A fierce competitor who leads by example, Evan elevates everyone around him through his passion and drive. Texas A&M is getting a relentless worker and a true team-first player who will elevate their program from day one.”

Tyree’s resume includes qualifying for the 2025 U.S. Junior Amateur and reaching the 2025 Arizona Amateur Quarterfinals. He tied for medalist honors at the Wolverines vs. the World tournament in Florida this season with teammate Jack Langbein, with rounds of 65 and 69, and topped the leaderboard in two dual matches. 

He recorded the final highlight of his career with a 65 in the final round of the 2026 AIA Division State Championship. He shot a front nine 31 with birdies at the 1st, 4th, and eighth holes and an eagle on the fifth. He carded two birdies on the back nine for a 34 and led the tournament down the stretch.

“I am really proud of all the guys on the team,” said Tyree. “We all fought really hard. Coach Shores has meant so much to me and his belief in me.”

Tyree lists the team’s annual trip to Florida among his career highlights, especially the 2026 version.

“The trips to Florida are super fun, especially this year,” said Tyree. “We all played really well and just handled business there. We showed that we are one of the best teams in the country.”

The Broncos topped the National Golf Association national rankings last year and could be among the top teams again this season.

Tyree will participate in the Brophy Collegiate Commitment Ceremony on Nov. 11.
