Ole Miss signs Arkansas golfer Hogan O’Keefe

Ole Miss has signed golfer Hogan O’Keefe, a Little Rock, Arkansas, native who will join the Rebels after competing for Little Rock Christian Academy.

O’Keefe helped Little Rock Christian win its second consecutive Class 5A boys golf state championship in 2025. The Warriors finished 15 strokes ahead of the field, and O’Keefe shot an even-par 71 to tie for second individually.

He was runner-up at the 2026 Arkansas Overall Golf State Tournament. O’Keefe also teamed with fellow Ole Miss signee Jack Denery to win the 2026 Arkansas Junior Four-Ball Championship. The pair shot rounds of 61 and 65, finishing 14 under par and three strokes ahead.

O’Keefe won two junior tournaments in July 2023. He took first at the Masters 2-Day at GreyStone Golf Club with rounds of 69 and 73, finishing 2 under. Less than two weeks later, he won the Masters 2-Day at River Bend Country Club, shooting 76 and 72 to finish 4 over and eight strokes ahead of the runner-up.

Ole Miss coach Chris Malloy said O’Keefe brings competitive drive and the potential to continue developing. O’Keefe said he chose the Rebels for their winning culture and coaches.
