COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – The Mountain West announced the 2025-26 Men’s Golf All-Conference team and individual honors today. Boise State, New Mexico, San Diego State, San José State and UNLV student-athletes make up the All-MW team.

San Diego State’s Harry Takis, the 2024-25 MW Freshman of the Year, was selected as the 2025-26 MW Golfer of the Year, while New Mexico rookie Thayer Plewe was named the MW Freshman of the Year. UNLV’s Jean-Paul Hebert garnered the MW Coach of the Year nod.

Takis averaged 70.1 strokes per round (36) this season and is ranked fourth in the nation. The sophomore logged one tournament win at the Southwestern Invitational, where he shot 203 across the three rounds, 67, 66 and 70, two strokes ahead of the next competitor. He logged a low round of 65 this season, four top five and five top 10 finishes. The Brisbane, Australia, native finished third in the 2026 Credit Union 1 MW Championship earlier this month, just three strokes behind teammate Tyler Kowack and four behind the tournament champion, UNLV’s Zach Little. He is the eighth Aztec to collect the accolade and second in consecutive years, Justin Hastings (2024-25), John Lieber (2001-02) and Lars Johansson (2000-01).

Plewe amassed a 71.7 average score per round (36) during the 2025-26 season, highlighted by a low round of 67. The Cortez, Colorado, native earned two top 10 finishes this season, including the William H. Tucker Invitational and the CU1 Mountain West Championship, where he finished seventh and eighth, respectively. Finished nine under-par which tied the freshman for eighth place at the event. This marks the seventh time a Lobo has earned the honor and first since 2021-22, Carson Herron.

Hebert led the Rebels to the 2026 Credit Union 1 Mountain West Championship title, in his fourth year at the helm, where two Rebel golfers finished in the top 10, including the tournament championship, Little. The Houston native is just the third head coach to lead the program. The honor is the first for UNLV since the 2016-17 season, Dwaine Knight, and third overall.
