Josiah Hakala, Class of 2025: New Hampshire's Hakala may be a recruit that's been hidden in a region not known for producing many college golfers. He's been dominant in 2024 locally, with two wins & five 2nd place finishes up north, and he travelled a bit this summer to test his game. Hakala raised the winner's trophy at the National High School Invitational and made it through a few rounds of the US Junior Amateur. A mid-major not dealing with roster limits may benefit from pickng up this talent.
