JAY MOSELEYHEAD COACHFOURTH SEASONAUBURN ‘08

Jay Moseley took the reins of Ohio State Men’s Golf, becoming the program’s 11th head coach, on July 9, 2015. His development prowess became apparent in the very first season guiding the Buckeyes when senior Tee-k Kelly captured individual medalist honors at the NCAA Kohler Regional, the first player in school history to win an NCAA Regional individual crown. Moseley pushed the entire team into an NCAA Regionals appearance in Year Two after Ohio State registered its highest finish at the Big Ten Championships in 13 years.

Under the tutelage of Moseley, sophomore Will Grimmer led the way in the conference championships with his runner-up performance. That individual performance also marked the best B1G effort from a Buckeye since 2004. Grimmer was joined by fellow Cincinnatian sophomore and Moseley apprecentice, Daniel Wetterich, as Golf ClubAA All-Midwest Region Team members.

In addition to Kelly’s NCAA Championships advancement in ‘15-16, Moseley oversaw a stellar freshman campaign from Grimmer which resulted in an individual berth into the NCAA Kohler Regional. Grimmer and Kelly both picked up All-Midwest Region honors while Kelly became the first Buckeye to garner All-America recognition (honorable mention) since Bo Hoag in 2009.Ohio State notched four top-6 team finishes in the Moseley Era inaugural season, including a fourth-place showing in the 2016 Robert Robert Kepler Intercollegiate.

During the previous six years, Moseley lifted Kennesaw State University to new heights unreached prior to his arrival. Moseley guided the Owls to five consecutive NCAA Regional appearances and a pair of trips to the NCAA Championships. Taking over a program which had never advanced to postseason play, Moseley steered the Owls to the 2011 NCAA Championships in just his second season at the helm.

Moseley added another program ̀ first’ this past season, guiding Kennesaw State into the Golf ClubAA Top-25 Poll for the first time ever and concluded the year ranked No. 27 nationally. The team’s ascension into the national Top-25 came on the strength of tournament titles at the Rees Jones Invitational (Sept. 21-23) and Pinetree Intercollegiate (Oct. 20-21) accompanied by second-place showings at the Jones Invitational (Feb. 23-24) and the Atlantic Sun Conference Championships (Apr. 19-21). In total, Moseley’s teams captured 13 tournament crowns during his time in Georgia.

Moseley’s charges finished in the top-30 nationally in 2011 and 2014, placing 26th at both NCAA Championships. The 2014 Owls claimed runner-up honors at the NCAA Auburn Regional to earn their spot in the nation’s final 30 teams vying for a national title. Moseley’s first campaign at Kennesaw State also included participation in NCAA action as then-sophomore Jeff Karlsson qualified for the 2010 NCAA Southeast Regional as an individual.

In addition to unprecedented team success achieved under the direction of Moseley, Kennesaw State brought home a heap of individual hardware as well. Since 2009-10, Owl golfers have been tabbed the Atlantic Sun Conference (A-Sun) Golfer of the Year twice, A-Sun Scholar-Athlete of the Year thrice, All-Southeast Region selections six times, All-A-Sun performers 14 times and Karlsson gathered Golf Coaches Association of America (Golf ClubAA) All-America Second Team honors in 2011. Moseley received direct recognition in ‘11 as well, named the A-Sun Coach of the Year.

In six conference tournaments, Kennesaw State finished no worse than third place en route to three runner-up efforts and the first Atlantic Sun

conference crown (2011) in team history.

Academic accolades also rolled in for Moseley’s pupils, highlighted by Ben Greene and Peder Lunde Hermansson becoming the Owls’ first Academic All-America recipients (2013). The KSU pair completed their academic careers with 4.0 grade-point averages, and Greene was the first of three Owls named A-Sun Conference Scholar-Athlete of the Year under Moseley. Overall during the Moseley Era, eight Kennesaw State student-athletes were placed on the All-America Scholar Team and nine tabbed A-Sun All-Academic squad.

His program corralled NCAA Multi-Year APR Special Recognition with a perfect score of 1000. The Owls maintained a team GPA above 3.0 all six years of Moseley’s tenure and exceeded 3.5 in both 2012 and 2013 to garner Golf ClubAA President’s Special Recognition Academic Awards.

Moseley’s recruiting prowess is evidenced by five A-Sun All-Freshman Team members and the 2014 A-Sun Freshman of the Year, Teremoana Beaucousin.

Prior to taking over the Kennesaw State program as a 24-year old, Moseley spent six years at Auburn University. The four-year letterwinner and three-year captain played for the Tigers from 2004-08 before serving as a graduate assistant for the 2008-09 season.

Moseley competed in 42 events during his career and still holds the all-time Auburn record for lowest 36-hole score (132, -12) at the 2006 John Burns Intercollegiate. His 14-under 202 54-hole total in the event was also an all-time mark at the time and is currently ranked third in Tiger lore.

He enjoyed his finest collegiate season in 2007-08, picking up Golfweek All-America Third Team and First Team All-Southeastern Conference laurels. His 71.83 stroke average that season ranks as the eighth-best in Auburn history, racking up 18 sub-par rounds (second-most) along the way. Moseley secured his second All-America Scholar recognition (2007, 2008) as well.

Moseley became the first-ever golfer to win the prestigious Cliff Hare Award, presented annually to an Auburn student-athlete who excels in athletic and scholarship achievement as well as showing a great degree of leadership, integrity and courage. He received a bachelor’s degree in business administration and a master’s degree in higher education administration with a sports management minor.

He and his wife, Kelly, welcomed their first child, James Brown Moseley III, also known as Tripp, on June 2, 2015.

BRAD SMITHASSISTANT COACHFOURTH SEASONOHIO STATE, ‘11

Brad Smith came back to Ohio State as the assistant men’s golf coach during the summer of 2015, joining head coach Jay Moseley’s staff. Smith is no stranger to Buckeye Golf, donning the Scarlet & Gray as a student-athlete and earning All-Big Ten honors in 2011. He also served as the program’s volunteer assistant coach during the 2012-13 campaign as well.

Smith and the Buckeyes advanced to the NCAA Regionals in 2017 after Ohio State registered its highest finish at the Big Ten Championships in 13 years. Smith mentored sophomore Will Grimmer to a runner-up performance at the conference championships. That individual performance also marked the best B1G effort from a Buckeye since 2004. Grimmer was joined by fellow Cincinnatian sophomore and Moseley apprecentice, Daniel Wetterich, as Golf ClubAA All-Midwest Region Team members.

Under Smith’s watchful eye, senior Tee-k Kelly captured individual medalist honors at the NCAA Kohler Regional, the first Buckeye in school history to win an NCAA Regional individual title. Smith aided Grimmer in his stellar freshman campaign as well, joining Kelly at the NCAA Kohler Regional and earning All-Midwest Region aCountry Clubolades.

Kelly took it one step further receiving All-America Honorable Mention after advancing to the NCAA Championships. Kelly is the first Buckeye to garner All-America recognition since Smith’s former teammate, Bo Hoag, did so in 2009.

Smith represented Buckeye Nation as a student-athlete from 2007-11 before graduating Summa Cum Laude (3.95 cumulative GPA) with a

business administration degree majoring in finance. On the course, Smith pushed Ohio State to a fifth-place effort at the 2011 NCAA Championships by placing 17th overall individually. He picked up Second Team All-Big Ten and PING Midwest All-Region aCountry Clubolades that season after tying All-American Bo Hoag with a team-best 72.63 stroke average in 36 rounds played.

The Peru, Ind., native was also honored as the Big Ten Golfer of the Week on two oCountry Clubasions. The second such recognition came in March ’11 following Smith’s individual medalist performance at the FAU Spring Break Championship.

Smith was an all-around student-athlete, receiving praise academically and from the OSU strength and conditioning staff as well. He picked up ESPN Academic All-America Second Team laurels as a senior to go along with three Academic All-Big Ten and four OSU Scholar-Athlete designations. Smith received admission into the Buckeye Power Club, a distinction presented to just one student-athlete annually from each team who exemplifies specific qualities in the weight room – leadership ability, work ethic, winning attitude, attendance and ability to follow instructions.

Brad and his wife, Carmen, have been married since August 2010 and reside in New Albany with their two daughters, Scarlett and Linden. His uncle, Chris Smith, was a 2000 inductee into the OSU Athletics Hall of Fame. Chris was First Team All-American in 1991 and the Big Ten’s Player of the Year and medalist in 1990.
