Sophomore Griffin Barela and senior Jordan Hahn both ditched baseball by the end of middle school to focus on golf.
Hahn’s route to becoming a Badger started at a young age. Born in Janesville, Wisconsin, Hahn was raised a Badger fan and attended University of Wisconsin golf camps in 8th and 9th grade where his connection with the coaching staff began.
Barela took a different route, filling out a questionnaire sent to him by UW in the summer of his junior year of high school. The first day the NCAA allowed coaches to directly contact recruits, he got a call from Head Coach Michael Burcin, and before he knew it he was on campus for his first visit.
