O’Neil on choosing MSUB: "I chose to attend school and play golf at MSUB to join a great group of guys on and off the course that make up the Yellowjacket golf team. I am also excited to play for and learn from the great coaching staff at MSUB, who will help me develop into the best player and person I can be.”
Coach Woodin on O’Neil: "I am very excited to have Paul join our men's golf program. I have known Paul and his family for years, and he represents the type of student-athlete we want at MSUB. He is an outstanding student and golfer. I have followed Paul's game for years, and he is always practicing. He has established himself as one of the premier high-school golfers in the state of Montana, and we are very fortunate to have him as a Yellowjacket. I look for him to make an immediate, positive impact on our team."
