Norman, Okla. -- University of Lynchburg's Eddie Coffren V has been named to the Division III PING All-American First Team, capping off an exceptional 2025 season.

Coffren is one of just eight golfers nationwide to earn First Team honors for his standout play this year.

The Owings, Md. native highlighted his final collegiate campaign with a first-place finish at the NCAA Championship in Rochester, N.Y., capturing the individual national title. He tallied an impressive 18 birdies during the tournament to secure the 2025 NCAA Division III Arnold Palmer National Individual Champion Award and helped guide the Hornets to a seventh-place team finish—the program's best showing at nationals since 1980.

This marks Coffren's second career All-American selection after earning Second Team recognition in 2024. The award adds to an already decorated four-year career with the Hornets.
