OREM — Utah Valley men's golf head coach Chris Curran has announced the signing of Tyler Ewell, a junior transfer from Central Wyoming College, who will join the Wolverines for the 2026-27 season.
Ewell comes to Utah Valley after two standout seasons at Central Wyoming, where he established himself as one of the top junior college golfers in the nation. A two-time NJCAA First Team Academic All-American, Ewell earned NJCAA Division I Second Team All-America, NJCAA Division I PING All-District Team and NJCAA Region 9 First Team All-Conference honors following an outstanding sophomore campaign.
"Tyler comes to us after a successful junior college career," Curran said. "He'll bring valuable experience to a fairly youthful group and has proven he can compete at a high level. We're excited to have him in our program."
During the 2025-26 season, Ewell ranked No. 39 nationally and No. 4 in his region while posting a 72.6 adjusted scoring average. He recorded three tournament victories, five top-three finishes and compiled a 345-27-4 head-to-head record over 22 rounds.
His sophomore season was highlighted by an individual title at the Sterling Invitational, where he fired a 4-under-par 68. He also tied for 10th at the NJCAA Division I National Championship to earn Second Team All-America honors after helping lead Central Wyoming to the Region 9 Championship.
Over his two-year collegiate career, Ewell captured four tournament titles and earned First Team All-District honors in 2025-26 after receiving Second Team All-District recognition the previous season. He also helped the Rustlers qualify for the NJCAA Division I National Championship.
Prior to Central Wyoming, Ewell starred at Box Elder High School, where he earned All-Region and All-State honors while helping lead the Bees to the 2022 Region 5 championship and a third-place finish at the Utah 5A State Championship.
Utah Valley is set to begin its inaugural season in the Big West Conference during the 2026-27 season.
