Head coach Trey Jones and the Florida State men’s golf team have landed another potential star for the future, securing a commitment Monday from 2027 golf phenom Miles Russell.

The Jacksonville Beach native is the No. 1-ranked player in the American Junior Golf Association, which is the top junior tour in the country.

Russell, who has already played in two PGA Tour events, is regarded as one of the best recruits in golf in recent years. At 16 years of age, he is the youngest golfer ever to make a cut on the Korn Ferry Tour.

In his last four AJGA starts, Russell has won three of them. The only one he didn’t win, he finished seventh, six strokes behind Charlie Woods, the son of Tiger Woods.

As an in-state school with one of the elite programs in college golf, FSU is also believed to be one of the schools in the mix for the younger Woods.
