Four future Bobcats sign to join the Montana State program next fall
BOZEMAN, Mont. -- Montana State women's golf will add four highly-touted prep products next year, head coach Brittany Basye announced on Wednesday.
The signing class for 2025 includes future Bobcats from four different states.
Ashleigh Wilson (Highlands Ranch, Colorado), Sailor Graham (Malibu, California), Lauren Nau (Scottsdale, Arizona), and Peyton DeBruin (Houston, Texas) will all join the Bobcat family.
"All four of these ladies have amazing personalities, golf swings, and experience in high level golf tournaments," Basye said. "They are very strong academically, have great families, and overall are great humans that we want representing Bobcat Golf. They will add depth to our team that will be very crucial as we continue to build our program to compete for the Big Sky Championships. I fully expect each of these players to be ready to compete next fall for the Bobcats and make a big impact. This is an amazing recruiting class for us, and we are very excited and beyond grateful they will be wearing BLUE AND GOLD next fall."

Ashleigh Wilson comes to Bozeman after a decorated run at Rock Canyon High School in Highlands Ranch, Colorado. This past season, Wilson won Colorado Golf Association Player of the Year and qualified for the U.S. Girls Junior and USGA Four-Ball Championship.
