DURHAM, N.C. – Duke men’s golf head coach Jamie Green has announced the signings of Charles Nelson and Alexander Weinberg from the recruiting class of 2025. Both players are ranked inside the top-100 by Junior Golf Scoreboard (JGS) and will join the Blue Devils in the fall of 2025.
“Both Charles and Alexander are absolutely perfect fits for our men’s golf program and for Duke University,” sad Green. “As cliché as it may sound, both are extremely well-rounded. They excel in the classroom, not just because of raw intellect, but more importantly, because of terrific decision-making, prioritizing, and organizational skills. Those traits, in particular, are why I believe each is perfect match for Duke.”
Weinberg is currently ranked No. 48 in the Class of 2025 by JGS and signs with the Blue Devils while sporting a -4.87 scoring differential.

Weinberg was also recently named an American Junior Golf Association (AJGA) Scholastic Junior All-American on Monday, Nov. 12 and is a 2025 National Merit Scholarship Commended Student.

Nelson is ranked 73rd by JGS for the Class of 2025 and 27th by AJGA and currently holds a -4.09 scoring differential.
