STEPHENVILLE, Texas – Tarleton's initial revival campaign is in the books, and now the Texans will aim to build the program into a consistent contender.
 
The Texans may be closer to that goal, announcing the addition of two golfers for 2023-24. Tarleton announced Thursday they have signed UTSA transfer Carson Gallaher and Lake Travis High School's Ian Bosco.
 
Gallaher is originally from New Braunfels, Texas, where he attended New Braunfels High School. He played four varsity years there, earning First Team All-District honors three times. At New Braunfels, he set new program records in single-round score and tournament score, plus was the District Freshman of the Year with a 72.3 scoring average. He helped lead the Unicorns to back-to-back district runner-up finishes. During his junior career, he posted more than a dozen top-10 finishes on the Southern Texas PGA Junior Golf circuit. He also carded a 208 (70-70-68) to share runner-up accolades at the 2019 Texas Masters/IMG World Qualifier in San Antonio.
 
Gallaher played in eight tournaments overall for the Roadrunners the past two seasons. This past year in five tournaments, he posted two top-20 results, including a bronze medal finish at the San Antonio Shootout. Academically, Gallaher was Academic First Team three times and a member of the National Honor Society. He will pursue a business management degree at Tarleton.
 
"I'm excited for Carson to join the program, he will help keep the momentum going into next season," head coach Chance Cain said. "He's on the backend of a pretty big swing change and looks to be coming into form again after firing a 69 (-3) to qualify for the Texas Am. He had a great Texas junior career and I'm looking forward to seeing his future ahead as a Texan."
 
Bosco joins the Texans after graduating from Lake Travis HS in Austin, Texas. Bosco shot a season-best 72 to open this past year at the Bart Granger Memorial in Fort Worth. His brother, Trey, just finished his third year playing for the Baylor men's golf program, and their father, Trey, played wide receiver for Texas.
 
"Ian is a very athletic kid who has a strong golf family background, and just this past year he decided to hang up the cleats to focus on golf full-time," Cain said. "He's got a lot of upside and has proven he has the skills to play at the next level with some of his scores and results he posted in the spring. He's got a great demeanor and work ethic that fits perfectly into the culture we are building here at Tarleton."
