He reached the Round of 16 at the 2025 U.S. Junior Amateur, won the La Loma Junior Classic and claimed two TOUR ZONA CENTRO titles. The program said he has recorded 16 top-10 finishes in amateur and junior events.

Newsom, of Tulsa, Oklahoma, is ranked No. 18 in the 2027 class by Junior Golf Scoreboard and is the top-ranked golfer in Oklahoma, according to the announcement. He is a two-time Oklahoma Junior Golf Tour winner and a Class 6A state champion. Most recently, he won the Bailey Ranch Bash at 14 under par, finishing six strokes ahead of the nearest competitor.

Coach Dusty Smith said Garcia brings international competition experience and a strong competitive approach. Smith said Newsom stood out early in the recruiting process for his work ethic, desire to improve and leadership potential. Smith credited assistant coach Kyle Cornelius with helping identify both recruits and said the additions would strengthen the program.
