Liam Curtis has shown flashes of high-end scoring in his debut season, highlighted by a 6-under 66 earlier this year and a season-best 20th-place finish at the Blessings Collegiate.
Ramiro Acevedo competed as an individual at the Hal Williams Collegiate, posting a one-under for the tournament. He placed 11th at the Tontimonia Invitational in the fall.
Nolan Haynes finished 32nd at the Hal Williams. Haynes' best finish of the season is an 11th-place showing at the Blessings Collegiate, and he has proven capable of going low, including a season-best 67.
