A native of Daxi, Taoyuan, Taiwan, Chen will compete as a freshman and have four years of eligibility.
"Hsuan-Yi is a tremendously talented young man. He has won events worldwide, and his world amateur rankings continues to rise over the year," Dismuke said. "Hsuan-Yi is a solid player who is excited about playing Big 12 golf and playing in one of the most historic golf programs of all time."
In 2023, he was the Yeangder Open individual champion with a four straight rounds of 72 or lower and captured medalist honors at the Yeangder Classic Leg #6. Chen also tied for first at the Future Challenge Championship with a three-round score of 209, including a 68 in the Final Round.
