Abney was a three-year letter-winner for the Owls beginning in 1991 and concluding his career in 1993. Considered, along with Hall of Famer Jon Hough, as one of the pioneers of Kennesaw State men's golf, he was considered one of the top performers in the state of Georgia. Abney was a 1992 NAIA All-American and was also a 1992 NAIA All-District selection after finishing the season with a 75.9 stroke average. Led the Owls to the 1992 NAIA National Tournament where he enjoyed a top 10 finish. He has been a successful coach at Pope High School (Marietta, Ga.), winning eight state slow-pitch softball titles.
