Western Carolina's Jake Peacock was today named the Southern Conference Men's Golf Freshman of the Year, while also collecting All-Southern Conference and SoCon All-Freshman team plaudits as chosen by the conference's head coaches.
Peacock was among 10 golfers selected to the all-conference team and one of five named to the all-freshman team – the only golfer in the league to be named to both honorary squads.
Peacock is the first WCU men's golfer to earn SoCon Freshman of the Year plaudits since the league started handing out that award in 1992. He is just the fourth Catamount – joining JT Poston in 2012, Tumi Kúld in 2019, and Pierre Viallaneix in 2021 – to earn all-freshman team honors. Peacock is also the 14th different Catamount to earn All-SoCon plaudits since 1978 – and the second-consecutive WCU freshman to land on both the all-conference and all-freshman squad
