Olsen, who was named a third-team All-American earlier this month by Golfweek Magazine, posted five top-10 finishes during his final campaign. A native of Cordova, Tenn., Olsen was also named a first-team all-conference selection this past season as well.

A native of Forest, Va., Bauchou was a first-team conference pick this past year and achieved honorable mention Golfweek All-America honors as well after tallying six top 10s.
