Coach Ball on Fahrbring:
“Jens has been arguably the best player on our team for the last two years. Last season he was a first team all-conference and first team all-state selection. Jens has worked very hard on his golf game, making a few changes this summer, and ended this summer on a great note playing very well. He is really excited about the upcoming season and has put college golf at the top of his goals of achievements at this point in time. He is very motivated to be successful and lead this team to be successful. With his consistency, drive, and work ethic I see that he can develop into one of the team leaders we need in order to reach higher levels of collegiate golf.”
