But seriously, this team could win it all. Should be a fun year.

That graphic is only to June. Current Amateur Rankings:
Jackson Buchanan: #16
Max Herendeen: #36 (!)
Ryan Voois: #193
Ethan Wilson: #470

Jackson also checked in at #6 in the PGA Tour University rankings. Those are for seniors only, but lead to guaranteed status on the various tours (#1 to the PGA, 2-10 to the KFT).

Next up is the US Amateur, which begins Monday at Hazeltine (MN). Jackson, Max and Ryan will be competing.

Bad news is that he now faces Luke Clanton who has three top 10 finishes on the PGA tour

Not their first match. Flash back to the first round of match play at the 2023 NCAA Championship:

Clanton won it on the 18th hole in what turned out to be the clincher for FSU. As you alluded to, Luke has been red hot this summer, taking over the #1 spot in the World Amateur Rankings today after a T5 last weekend. But as we know too well, anything can happen in match play. Tee off is 9:10 CT tomorrow, winner plays another match in the afternoon.

Jackson wins 1UP! Tight one, obviously.

Three wins, all going to the 18th. Impressive showing by Jackson thus far. Next up is Notre Dame's Jacob Modleski, who had an impressive win of his own against Omar Morales. They will face off tomorrow at 2:45 CT.

Watched the highlights, the kid from FL was impressive - not easy going toe-to-toe over 36 holes. He'd look good in O&B...

Nice start for Jackson, currently 2 UP at the halfway point. Coverage on Peacock (Golf Channel picks it up later).
