Max Markley held out for the perfect fit, and Belmont University has offered it to him.
The McCallie senior soon will sign scholarship papers to play golf at the Nashville school.
Markley also received offers from East Tennessee State, College of Charleston, Louisville and Cincinnati, but he picked the Bruins in part because they have five seniors this season.
“I really never considered Belmont after last summer, but I work with Charles Plott, who works with Belmont and told coach Scott Flynn about me,” Markley said. “The other offers weren’t a combination of school and golf that fit me, but Belmont does.”
Markley dropped his scoring average from 79.1 to 74.1 over his four-year career. He was selected to the Times Free Press Best of Preps first team last fall.
