Sargent won two AJGA events in his career, the 2017 Evitt Foundation RTC Junior All-Star and the 2018 TaylorMade/Adidas Golf Junior All-Star. In 2019, Sargent won the Alabama Boys State Junior Championship. In 2020, he became the youngest player to win the Alabama State Amateur in the modern era. He broke the tournament scoring record with a 24-under 264. He repeated as Alabama State Amateur champion a year later. Sargent attended Mountain Brook High School where he was a member of three AHSAA State Golf Championship teams and earned low medalist honors in two of those years.
