At the Mark Simpson Invitational, Freeman opened with a 68, tying his career best, and also earned his best career finish with a tie for 3rd place at 5-under-par. His lowest 54-hole score of the season came at the Denver Desert Shootout where he fired a one-under-par 215 and finished tied for 32nd.

Freeman led NU with seven subpar rounds during his senior campaign. He led the Huskers in four of their 11 stroke play events during the season.

Junior (2013-14)
After not competing in the first tournament of the season, Freeman started all 11 tournaments for the rest of the season. He earned a 74.90 stroke average in 31 rounds in his first season at Nebraska. At the Desert Shootout in the spring, Freeman opened with 68 before rounds of 72 and 71 en route to a 5-under-par 211 total, his best 54-hole score of the season.

In his next outing, he fired 68 in the final round of the Hawkeye Invitational. The score marked the best by an individual among the 65-player field during the rainy final day as Freeman tied for 26th. At the Oak Hill Intercollegiate, he was one of four Huskers to finish in the top 10, notching a tie for ninth at 12-over-par 222.

Before Nebraska
Freeman started his collegiate golfing career at Southeast Community College in Beatrice, where he spent two seasons under the direction of Head Coach Bill Campbell. Freeman twice earned first-team NJCAA All-America honors, tying for second at nationals as a sophomore after a sixth-place finish as a freshman. He also won the Region IX and SCC Spring Invite individual titles during his time in junior college.

Freeman attended high school at Humboldt-Table Rock-Steinauer and finished in the top 10 of the state tournament all four years. At the weather-shortened Class C Championship in 2011, he fired a 72 before losing in a playoff to finish second. Freeman took runner-up honors in 2010 as well, where he shot 144 over two rounds at Kearney Country Club. Freeman finished 10th in both 2009 and 2008, competing at Meadowlark Hills and Kearney Country Club, respectively.
