Vanderbilt’s men’s golf team still has some rounds to play, but some celebration is already warranted.

Three Commodores earned post season honors from the SEC on Friday, ahead of their upcoming NCAA Tournament regional at Poplar Grove Golf Club in Amherst, Va.

Senior Jackson Van Paris and junior Wells Williams earned All-SEC second team honors, while junior Ben Loomis was selected to the SEC community service team. It’s the second-straight All-SEC second team selection for Van Paris and second career All-SEC honor for Williams, who was named to the All-SEC freshman team in 2022-23 and was the SEC Scholar-Athlete of the Year at the end of stroke play at the 2025 SEC Men’s Golf Championship.

Williams captured a team-best two individual titles this season, winning the 2025 Southwestern Invitational and 2025 Mason Rudolph Championship.
