GREELEY, Colo. – The University of Northern Colorado Men's Golf program has added two more standouts to its 2025-26 roster with the signing of Tommie Clark and Thomas Barnes Grimes, Director of Golf Clayton Sikorski announced Thursday. Clark, a freshman from Mesa, Arizona, and Barnes Grimes, a junior transfer from Leeds, England, bolster a strong incoming class that also includes early signees Lucas Raoul and Rowan MacDonald.
Clark arrives in Greeley following a decorated junior golf career. The homeschooled product from Arizona is ranked No. 660 on the Junior Golf Scoreboard and has consistently competed at a high level, recording several top finishes in elite events across the region.
His recent results include:

6th place – JGAA Fall Classic (72-67—139, -3)

Sikorski praised Clark's background and potential:
"Tommie comes from a golfing family. He has seen elite golf up close and personal and knows what it takes to be successful at the next level. Tommie is a great young man and we are excited to see what he can do as a Bear."
Joining Clark is Barnes Grimes, a seasoned collegiate golfer who began his college career at Rogers State University before transferring to Friends University. A member of the Yorkshire Men's Team and the 2022 Grand Prix du Vaudreuil champion, Barnes Grimes brings international experience and a proven collegiate track record to the program.
