He has finished inside the top 10 numerous times in 2016, including a second-place finish at the Haas Family Invitational. He was named first-team Rolex Junior All-American in 2015 and Palm Beach County’s 2015 Golfer of the Year. In 2015, he was the FHSAA 1A District 20 Individual Champion, the FHSAA 1A Region 7 Individual Title, and placed fifth at the FHSAA 1A State Finals for the Lions. Kozan won his division in the Florida Junior Tour Championship.

He finished last season as a junior with a .467 batting average, with 9 RBI, and stole 20 bases to successfully complete 80 percent of his steals. Also, he led the team, which earned the second seed in a brutally tough 4A District 6 game and made its first FHSAA regional appearance since 2013, losing a 1-run game in the regional semifinals.
