Men’s Golf Adds Two Players to Oakland’s 2027-28 Roster on National Signing Day

ROCHESTER, Mich. – Oakland University men's head golf coach Darin Hudak has announced the addition of two newcomers, Jack Klimek and Draven Rogers, to the Golden Grizzlies' signing class for the 2027-28 season.

"We are incredibly excited to welcome Jack and Draven to Oakland University," Hudak said. "They represent the type of players and young men we want to bring into this program as we continue to build toward our vision for Oakland Golf. Both are driven competitors who will push each other and their teammates to get better every day. 

"We want to develop a team that takes pride in its preparation, embraces challenges, and competes with the best in our region. We believe Jack and Draven will make a meaningful impact on our program, and look forward to what we can accomplish together in the years ahead."

Jack Klimek | Ada, Mich. | Forest Eastern Hills High School
Klimek has earned All-Conference honors in each of his three years of high school golf and is a three-time All-State selection. At last year's MHSAA Division II State Finals, he finished third overall with rounds of 71 and 72 for a one-over-par 143.

Over the summer, Klimek recorded two top-five performances in Golf Association of Michigan events. At the GAM Michigan Junior Stroke Play, he advanced to the match-play semifinals, and finished among the top five with rounds of 71 and 69 to finish four-under-par total. He also placed among the top five at the GAM Championship, led by his opening round score of 63 (seven-under-par).

"Jack is an outstanding individual and brings an exciting combination of power and scoring ability to our program," Hudak said. "His length off the tee gives him a great advantage, and his opening-round 63 at the GAM Championship this summer showed what he can do when he puts it all together. We are excited to work with Jack and help him continue developing into a successful collegiate player."

Draven Rogers | Fort Gratiot, Mich. | Port Huron Northern High School
Rogers, like Klimek, has earned All-Conference honors in each of his three years of high school golf. He is also a two-time Conference Player of the Year and earned  All-State honorable mention after finishing 17th at the 2026 MHSAA Division I State Finals.

Rogers made an early impression by winning the 15-and-under GAM Boys' Championship in 2025 and carried that momentum into 2026. This summer, he finished runner-up at AJGA Coca-Cola Junior Championship with a seven-under par total, shooting rounds of 70, 68, and 71. He shared medalist honors at the 48th Michigan Junior Stroke Play before advancing to the match-play quarterfinals, and placed among the top five at the GAM Boys' Championship.

"Draven is an incredibly motivated person and has a very complete game from top to bottom," Hudak said. "He has shown lots of maturity on the golf course and has a great ability to consistently shoot at or below par regardless of the tournament. We believe his game should travel well on many types of courses we will face in collegiate competition and are excited to have him aboard."
