MOBILE, Ala. – Kevin Dahlberg has signed a National Letter-of-Intent and will join the University of South Alabama men's golf program in the fall of 2021 Jaguar head coach Ben Hannan announced Friday.

The Skanör, Sweden resident will have four years of eligibility when he arrives at South.

"We are very excited to have Kevin join us next fall," said Hannan.  "Kevin's father played professionally, so he has grown up around the game and good players.  Kevin is a quality person and good student who we have really enjoyed getting to know through the recruiting process.  He is a strong, athletic player who has solid swing mechanics, good speed and a game that should fit well at the collegiate level."

Dahlberg was a member of the Swedish Junior national team in 2019, helping the squad earn a bronze medal at the European Boys' Team Championship.  He fired scores of 68, 67 and 70 to claim medalist honors at the Teen Tour Grand Opening in April of that season — winning the event by six shots — while also helping Filbornaskolan to a bronze medal finish at Sweden's High School Team Championship.  Dahlberg advanced to the round of 16 at the JSM Match Play that summer before ending the season with a fifth-place finish in his final appearance on the Teen Tour following a final-round 69.

Last season, he made the cut at the Junior Orange Bowl International before going on to shoot a 70 on the last day of the competition.  Dahlberg carded a final-round 6-under-par 65 to place second at the SER Open — an over-18 mini tour event — while also making the cut at the PGA Sweden National tournament on the Nordic Tour after shooting a 70 in both the first and last rounds of the championship.  He fired a 63 in the second of three rounds to claim the Flommens Club Championship as well.

South will begin the spring season in February when the program plays host to the annual Mobile Bay Intercollegiate at the Magnolia Grove Crossings Golf Course.
