AMES, Iowa – Iowa State Men's Golf Head Coach Andrew Tank announced the signing of three newcomers, Drew
Madigan, Grady Thompson, and Walker Webb. Webb and Thompson are both ranked within the Top 50 of the
Class of 2027 rankings, with Webb sitting at 21 and Thompson at 44.
"I am thrilled to welcome Drew, Grady and Walker to the Cyclone Golf Family," Tank said. "Our players and staff
have really enjoyed getting to know them and their families through the recruiting process. This class will have an
immediate impact on the success of our program and will play a crucial role in what we are building here at Iowa
State."
From Collierville, Tenn., Madigan currently attends IMG Academy in Bradenton, Fla. Madigan has qualified for the
US Junior Amateur Championships in consecutive years (2025,2026), shooting a 64 (-6) to advance to the
championship in 2026. Madigan also placed 10th at the 2026 Tennessee Junior Amateur and competed in the US
Open Final Qualifying in 2026, facing off against Scoreboard's No. 3 ranked individual Ryder Cowan and fellow
incoming Cyclone Walker Webb. Madigan comes from a family of collegiate athletes, with both his parents Sean
and Sara swimming at Miami University, and his sister Erin currently swimming at the University of Maine.
"I chose Iowa State because I knew it was a place with great teammates and coaches who could help me reach the
next level in my golf career," Madigan said. "I felt like it was the best place for me to grow as a person and a golfer.
Overall, competing at the highest level is something I've always wanted to do. I'm most looking forward to being a
part of a team. I also can't wait to build strong relationships with my teammates and coaches."
A native of Edmond, Okla., Thompson currently attends Edmond Santa Fe High School and is ranked No. 44 in the
Class of 2027. Thompson is a four-time letterwinner at Edmond Sante Fe, starting varsity golf all four years with his
prime achievement coming when he won the 2026 6A Individual State Champion in Oklahoma. Thompson placed
fourth at the 2026 First Tee National Championship as well as receiving the Oklahoma Junior Boys Player of the
Year award consecutively in 2025 and 2026.
"I choose Iowa State because it felt really comfortable to me and all of my main factors fell into a really good spot
for me," Thompson said. "I love the players, coaches, facilities, campus and the people that surround the
university. I am most looking forward to joining an elite crew of student-athletes and make connections across
campus and also having the opportunity to get better every day."
A product of Brentwood, Tenn., Webb currently attends Franklin Road Academy in Nashville and is ranked No. 21
in the Class of 2027. Webb has put together a strong resume at FRA, tallying back-to-back TSSAA State
Championships in 2025 and 2026, four all-state selections, five all-region and five all-district nods. Webb placed
fourth at the 2026 Western Junior and competed in the 2026 US Open Final Qualifiers alongside incoming
Madigan. Webb shot a respectable seven-under par (71-66=137) to hold his own against some of the world's best
golfers. Webb is also a member of the U.S. National Development Team for Team Tennessee.
"I chose Iowa State because of the opportunities that it had for me to elevate my game to the next level," Webb
said. "I'm most excited for the facilities Iowa State has for golf and more student-athletes in general."
