Scheffler, who will attend the University of Texas, has a sister who is a golfer at Texas A&M. Scheffler is the third Texas boys’ golfer to be honored by the NHSCA.
Scheffler continued his success at Texas. He was named the Phil Mickelson Freshman of the Year in 2015. He assisted the Longhorns in claiming three Big 12 Championships. Scheffler obtained his PGA card and most recently was honored as the 2019 Kom Ferry Tour Player of the Year.
