Top-ranked junior Miles Russell commits to Florida State
One of the most highly regarded NCAA men's golf recruits in years has made his decision. Miles Russell, the top-ranked junior in both the Class of 2027 and overall according to both the AJGA and Junior Golf Scoreboard rankings, announced his verbal commitment to Florida State on Monday evening. Russell, a 16-year-old from Jacksonville Beach, Florida, was believed to value staying close to home and was also giving serious consideration to the Seminoles' instate rival Florida Gators. It's unknown how many years Russell will stay in college before turning professional, though he's already got name, image and likeness deals with TaylorMade and Nike, among others. He's one of the most accomplished junior players in recent history, having already won three AJGA invitationals, the 2023 Boys Junior PGA, 2025 Junior Invitational at Sage Valley and even last winter's South Beach International Amateur, a top amateur event. He recently was runner-up at another big-time amateur tournament, the Northeast Amateur, and at No. 16 in the World Amateur Golf Ranking, he is in line to become the youngest competitor in Walker Cup history later this year at Cypress Point, assuming he makes the 10-man U.S. squad. Last year, Russell also made history by becoming the youngest player to make a Korn Ferry Tour cut, and his T-20 finish at the Lecom Suncoast Classic made him the youngest since at least 1983 to post a top-25 on either the PGA Tour or KFT.
