South Dakota State Men’s Golf Signs Two Top Recruits

South Dakota State men’s golf head coach Parker Edens has announced the signing of two top recruits, Jake Olson and Jake Randall. Both players will enroll at South Dakota State next fall and are expected to make an immediate impact on the program.

Jake Olson is a two-time South Dakota State High School Individual Champion (2021, 2023) and was runner-up at the 2022 Junior Championships. He was also named South Dakota Junior Golfer of the Year three times (2021, 2022, 2023) and won the South Dakota Golf Association Junior Championship in 2021 and 2023. Olson also won the Sanford Futures Championship in 2023.

Jack Randall finished third in the 2023 Highland Amateur Championship and second in the 2022 Kansas City Junior Amateur Championship. He won a regional title in 2021 and led Free State High School to its first team title in 10 years in 2023. He was a three-time all-conference selection.

Edens is excited about the potential of Olson and Randall and believes they can help the Jackrabbits maintain a high level of competitiveness in the Summit League.

Additional Notes:

Olson is the son of Doug and Amber and plans to pursue a degree in preparation for medical school.
Randall is the son of Steve and Kathy. His father, Steve, coached the South Dakota State men’s and women’s golf teams from 1993-97. He plans to major in business and sports management.
