Men's Golf Wraps Up 2025-26 Signing Class With Three Newcomers

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - North Florida men's golf reels in three more additions to the Ospreys' 2025-26 roster to finish out its eight-player squad heading into the competition season, as announced by Director of Golf Scott Schroeder on Monday afternoon.

Laurens Schulze-Doering, JP Parr and Diego Alvarez Perez joins Luke Balaskiewicz as UNF's newcomers. Filippo Serra, Danny Erickson, Chase Carroll and Adam Vermut will return for the Ospreys heading into the team's first tournament set to start on Friday, Sept. 5, at the Visit Knoxville Collegiate.

"Laurens [Schulze-Doering] and Jean-Philippe [Parr] were big additions for us. Both coaches they played for spoke very highly of their work ethic and commitment to getting better and that was important for us," said Schroeder. "Laurens is a bomber who has a chance to help us a bunch right off the start. JP is a really hard worker that was really elite two years ago. We just need to him to find his swag again and good golf will be right behind."

"Diego [Alvarez Perez] is a good young player that will compete and work hard," Schroeder continued. "We look forward to a bright future for him."
