The coach was named the 2025 Dave Williams National Coach of the Year for Division II, the Golf Coaches Association of America (GCAA) and Golf Pride Grips announced last week.
The Cougars held the No. 1 national ranking throughout the year, securing eight regular-season victories and 11 wins overall. Hull led the program to its first-ever NCAA West/South Central Regional title and a second consecutive RMAC Championship.
