Austin Hitt, the 2015 Florida 3A state champion, has signed a National Letter of Intent to play men’s golf at the University of North Carolina.
The Longwood, Fla., native attends Lake Mary High School and is Golfweek’s 20th-ranked player in the country in the Class of 2016. Hitt has led Lake Mary to consecutive state championships. He won the Florida Boys 3A individual title earlier this month by firing birdies on the last four holes.
“Austin Hitt is the perfect player to join our team,” says UNC head coach Andrew Sapp. “We have only one senior this year, so we were not going to sign a large class.
