NORMAN, Okla. - UNT men's golf graduates Viktor Forslund and Sean Wilcox have been selected as Srixon/Cleveland Golf All-America Scholars for NCAA Division I, the Golf Coaches Association of America announced on Thursday.
Forslund played five seasons for the Mean Green and earned several accolades throughout his career, including a Third Team All-Conference USA selection, Second Team All-Conference USA selection and he was also named to the All-Freshman team. He also earned Srixon/Cleveland Golf All-America Scholar honors in 2020 and 2021. Wilcox played two seasons for UNT after transferring from Tennessee and was a key part of the Mean Green's run to the match-play final at the 2021 Conference USA Championship.
To be eligible for Srixon/Cleveland Golf All-America Scholar nomination, an individual must be a sophomore, junior or senior both academically and athletically in NCAA Division I, II, III, and NAIA, or receiving their Associate's Degree and in their last year of athletic eligibility in the NJCAA. In addition, they must participate in 50% of their team's competitive rounds, have a stroke average under 76.0 in NCAA Division I, under 78.0 in NCAA Division II, under 79.0 in NCAA Division III, under 78.0 in NAIA, and under 77.0 in NJCAA, and maintain a minimum cumulative career grade-point average of 3.2. A recipient must also be of high moral character and be in good standing at his college or university.
Forslund played in nine of the team's 11 tournaments this past season and finished with a 75.19 stroke average, while Wilcox played in seven of the 11 events with a 75.47 average.
"I'm proud of Sean and Viktor," UNT head coach Brad Stracke said. "In men's golf, you are eligible to be an academic All-American after you complete your junior year and have below a 76 scoring average. Viktor is now the first three-time Academic All-American in program history. Both of these gentlemen will be missed on and off the golf course this coming season."
