Huskers Add Bryson Oots for 2025-26 – University of Nebraska

Nebraska men’s golf has added NCAA Division II transfer Bryson Oots to its 2025-26 roster, Head Coach Judd Cornell announced on Tuesday, July 1.

Oots, a two-time PING All-Midwest Region selection at William Jewell College in Liberty, Mo., produced a team-best 72.17 stroke average over 34 rounds for the Cardinals last season. He also captured four individual tournament titles in 2024-25 on his way to a second consecutive trip to the NCAA Division II Midwest Regional.

Over his three seasons at William Jewell, Oots posted a 73.22 stroke average over 86 rounds while winning six individual tournament titles. He fired career-best rounds of 66 on three occasions.

“Bryson has had an outstanding career at William Jewell and has earned the right to play at the Division I level,” Cornell said. “He will be a great fit for our competitiveness and will give us a great shot in the arm. I’m extremely happy for him and excited that he’s going to be a Husker.”

A two-time first-team All-Great Lakes Valley Conference performer, Oots was the GLVC Player of the Year in 2024-25. He was also an Academic All-GLVC selection last season. Oots was the Missouri Class 5 state champion as a senior at Staley High School in 2021-22. A two-time all-state selection, Oots was also the Kenneth Smith Award winner, which is presented annually to the best boys high school golfer in the Kansas City area.
