Mi Li, Class of 2025: This Chinese athlete has spent most of 2023 competing in the United States, with her best performance a 3rd place at the AJGA Girls Invitational. Her resume includes three top-4 finishes on the Florida Junior Tour and three runner-up finishes in AJGA Open events. She also finished 16th at the Dustin Johnson World Junior and 14th at the AJGA Roles Girls Invitational.

Emile Lebrun, Class of 2025: The Canadian resident who spends time in Florida has had significant success in Florida junior tours. He boasts three wins already in 2024, two on the Florida Junior and one with the South Florida PGA. He added those trophies to the one he earned in the SF PGA in December. He has yet to compete in more high profile events, except for an appearance at the 2023 US Junior Amateur, and we'd love to see him shine on a bigger stage.

Emma Lee, Class of 2025: This New Yorker dominated MET PGA in 2023 with five wins, with 5 of 8 rounds under par. Lee carded top-10 finishes in her only two AJGA events, but held in New York, and also qualified for the 2023 Junior PGA Championship.

Nicole Iniakov, Class of 2025: California's Iniakov has amassed an impressive AJGA resume in the past year, with one win and two runner-up finishes since June of 2023. Her most recent success came at the 2024 JTNC Spring Series V, with a 2nd place finish, after her first appearance in an AJGA Invitational. In 2023 Iniakov recorded a 3rd place finish at the CWAC Junior Girls State Championship. She is currently ranked in the top-40 of her class on JGS.

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.

Lorenzo Rodriguez, Class of 2025: Rodriguez is re-opening his recruiting after several successful seasons. He was runner-up at the 2023 Florida Junior Championship and qualified for the 2023 US Amateur. He finished 7th at the 2024 Junior Orange Bowl and has qualified to the Florida Men's Amateur multiple times. Rodriguez was runner-up at the AJGA Huntsville Junior and was the FHSAA Class 2A state champion in 2023.
