MANHATTAN, Kan. – For the second time this summer, the Kansas State men’s golf team added a transfer for the upcoming 2025-26 season as
Shea Harmeson has signed to play for the Wildcats, head coach
Grant Robbins announced Wednesday.
Harmeson joins the Wildcats after spending the last three seasons at Saginaw Valley State.
“We are excited to welcome Shea to our Wildcat golf family,” Robbins said. “He has an interesting background having played ice hockey throughout high school and for a couple of years in college. Once he started focusing solely on golf, his game really took off. He brings a great deal of experience, and his competitiveness will be a huge asset to our program. He had a great year having been in contention numerous times and has shown the ability to close out tournaments and win. I know he is excited to show what he can do at the Big 12 level.”
After splitting time with the SVSU club ice hockey team for two years, Harmeson’s concentration on golf paid dividends during the 2024-25 season. The Traverse City, Michigan, native captured a pair of victories – including the individual title at the 2025 Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (GLIAC) Championship – while totaling a 72.61 scoring average en route to earning First Team All-GLIAC honors.
Harmeson earned the individual conference title with a 36-hole score of 8-under par 136, which included a final-round score of 7-under par 66 to tie his collegiate low. He also picked up a victory in the Battle at Brunswick after carding a 54-hole score of 1-over par 217, and he followed that up with the lowest 54-hole score of his collegiate career at 8-under par 208 in the Findlay Spring Invitational to tie for second place. In addition to his victories and tie for second, Harmeson produced two other top-10 finishes and totaled nine top-20 showings.
As a sophomore in 2023-24, Harmeson earned second team all-conference accolades after producing a 73.86 scoring average over 22 rounds with two top-10 finishes. He opened his sophomore campaign by winning the B&R Investments Bulldog Classic at 3-under par 210, which included a final-round total of 66. He also tied for second place in the Sea Trail Intercollegiate with a 36-hole score of 2-under par 142.
Last summer, Harmeson advanced to the quarterfinals of the 2024 Michigan Amateur thanks to match-play victories of 3&1, 2 Up and 5&4 after tying for 30th place in stroke play at 6-over par 148.
