EVANSVILLE, Ind. – University of Southern Indiana Men’s Golf has added graduate transfer Sam Gargis to the roster for 2025-26.
Gargis, from Muscle Shoals, Alabama, comes to USI after starting his collegiate career at the University of North Georgia and spending the last two years at Stephen F. Austin State University.
Gargis is coming off a solid spring campaign for the Lumberjacks, which included being named the Southland Conference Player of the Month at the end of March after tying for 11th at the Golfweek/Stifel Spring Challenge following a 54-hole score of 211 (69-69-73).
The graduate senior notched a couple of other notable finishes in 2024, recording a top-25 finish at the 2024 Husky Intercollegiate with a three-round 222 (73-72-77) and another top-25 finish at the 2024 La Tour Intercollegiate with a 54-hole 216 (70-72-74). Gargis registered a 73.5 scoring average during the 2025 spring season.
“I have known Sam for many years, since recruiting him in high school,” USI Men’s Golf Head Coach Ryan Chandler said. “He has overcome many obstacles in his college career and brings significant value and experience to our program. He is solid on and off the golf course and will bring a significant amount of leadership to our team this season. I am looking forward to seeing what we accomplish with him as an addition.”
Gargis was a four-time all-area nominee and three-time Alabama 6A state champion in high school at Muscle Shoals High School.
