Gates Glanton '25 Recruiting Profile

I am thrilled to express my deep passion for golf and the immense joy it brings me. Golf has become an integral part of my life, shaping my character, discipline, and determination. Every swing, every putt, and every round is an opportunity for me to challenge myself and strive for excellence.

While balancing my commitment to academics, I have maintained a GPA of 3.0, emphasizing the importance of a well-rounded education. I firmly believe that academic success complements athletic achievement, and I continuously strive to excel in both areas.

In my golfing journey, I have actively participated in tournaments such as the SJGT (Southeastern Junior Golf Tour), where I have honed my skills and competed against talented golfers. Additionally, this year, I am eagerly aiming to participate in AJGA (American Junior Golf Association) tournaments, pushing myself to new heights and gaining valuable experience.  You will see my continual improvement each year which is a testament of my hard work on and off the course.

Beyond golf, I am actively involved in FCA (Fellowship Christian Athletes), an organization that has provided me with a strong support system and an opportunity to deepen my faith while connecting with fellow athletes. FCA has helped me develop not only as a golfer but also as a person of integrity, sportsmanship, and leadership.

Looking ahead, I am filled with excitement and anticipation to become part of a college community that will offer me a multitude of opportunities. I believe that finding the right fit is crucial for personal and academic growth. By joining a college that supports my love for golf and encourages my holistic development, I will be able to explore all the possibilities available to me.
