MAC Golfer of the Week (Feb. 13, 2026)
Second-year star posted Ball State's second-best average during 2025-26 and he corraled a MAC Golfer of the Week honor after finishing third overall at the Lake Jovita Invitational ... was a high school teammate of the Cardinals' other second-year star, Luke Johnston.
"Brody's got one of our top averages and he played competitive rounds in his first year. I look at Brody and he's the most athletic kid on the team, probably, and has some skills that not a lot of the guys have. He is continuing to gain experience and get comfortable in the tournament setting. He's fully capable, and he's going to be somebody that consistently pushes for for a top-five spot."
2025-26 (Fr..): Sorrell completed twenty rounds overall with a 72.40 average ... best event was an 8-under par 208 (74-65-69) that earned a third-place finish at the Lake Jovita Invitational, Feb. 9-10, and a MAC Golfer of the Week award ... his 7-under 65 in the second round was the lowest round of the tournament and fueled him to finish just five shots off the tournament leader, while playing as an individual ... his 65 and 69 at Lake Jovita were two of his three lowest-scoring rounds of his first year ... golfed 14 rounds for the Cardinals in the fall, and his 72.14 stroke average was No. 4 on the team ... fired sub-70 rounds in each of his first four college tournaments, including a low round of 67 at the Put Me In Coach Invitational, Oct. 6-7, where he finished 12th (76-72-67---215, +5).
HIGH SCHOOL: Sorrell and Johnston were top 20 finishers their last two seasons in the IHSAA state finals while leading the Evansville North Huskies to a state record eight consecutive regional championships ... close friends and teammates, the Huskies duo led Evansville North to the state finals finishes in each of their four high school seasons ... Sorrell finished 15th and Johnston second in the 2025 IHSAA state finals, as Evansville North finished fifth overall ... both were four-time all-conference picks in the Southwest Indiana Athletic Conference ... said Fleck when they signed: "These guys are two of best players in the state and the bonus for us as they continue their careers as teammates." ... Sorrell, was a USGA Junior Amateur qualifier in 2024 and 2025 ... "The first thing that jumps out with Brody is his athleticism," Fleck added. "Brody is a very strong, and a power-producing player with a swing that matches up perfectly with his athletic frame. He is an ultra-competitive young man who wants to win. Along with Luke, these two athletes bring excellent chemistry to the squad and that 'everyday desire' to compete for championships."
