LARAMIE, Wyoming (11/13/24) – University of Wyoming men’s golf head coach Joe Jensen announced the commitments of four future Pokes on Wednesday. Kellen Ball, Austin Barry, Ryker Lind and Connor Scheich all signed with Wyoming on National Signing Day.

“A lot of time and effort was spent putting together this outstanding recruiting class,” Jensen said. “We try to find guys that understand the level of play necessary to compete at a national level while also taking to heart the academic expectations we have for them. This group does that. We feel great about this class with not only the level of play they bring but who they are as people.”

Below is a list of the signees.

Kellen Ball (Windsor, Colorado)

Ball is a decorated golfer from Windsor High School. He finished runner-up at the state tournament in 2022 and won the regional tournament in 2024. Ball was honored on the all-state team each of his four years and was all-conference each of those years, as well. He helped Windsor Charter Academy to a pair of top-three team finishes at the state tournament and a regional championship in 2022.

Austin Barry (Fort Collins, Colorado)

Barry is a stout golfer from Fossil Ridge High School. He’s a two-time first-team all-state golfer, and he helped his squad to a team state championship in 2022. Barry was a four-time first-team all-conference selection and won regional medalist honors in 2021.

Ryker Lind (Evanston, Wyoming)

Lind was a very accomplished golfer from Evanston High School. He was named Wyoming Golfer of the Year in 2024. Lind was all-state each of his four years, claiming the state title in 2024, in addition to making the all-state team each of his four years. He’s the state’s low-round record holder at 65, which he accomplished in 2021 and his scoring average of 68.7 in 2024 is also a state record.

Connor Scheich (Highlands Ranch, Colorado)

Scheich is an impressive golfer from Mountain Vista High School. He was a first-team all-state recipient in 2023, while also being a two-time second-team all-state honoree. In addition, Scheich was named all-conference each of his last two high school seasons.
