Evaluations
Alex Eckstein is a rising player in the 2026 class and a true college prospect for the next level. When he’s not playing in events, he is working on his irons and putting. He has great leadership, poise and passion for the game. Alex claimed the District Championship as a junior and has qualified for the State Tournament three times.
He has an advantage over his competitors due to his consistent drives of 285 off the tee. I see Alex being a name to lookout for – He is constantly working on his stroke and getting better and better every season! Also a great kid who handles his business off the course with a 3.44 GPA. His recruitment is open and looking for an opportunity to play at the next level at any program that fits his academic and athletic potential.
