His wealth of experience as a collegiate player and coach coupled with his teaching style make him the ideal person for this role," said Davis. "I look forward to working with him to build an exceptional program for our student athletes."

    "Partnering with NBA Champion Stephen Curry to support Howard University's first NCAA Division I golf program brings critical resources to the table to support our vision to enhance our athletics program and use sport to expand the cultural experience of our students," said President Dr. Wayne A. I. Frederick. "The selection of Coach Sam Puryear is the next step in this historic journey to take golf at Howard to the highest level.

During his time as a collegiate golfer and team captain, he played under the leadership of Coach Dr. Catana Starks, the first woman to coach a men's Division I golf team.
