A week after helping the United States win the 2021 Ryder Cup, made an appearance on ESPN's College Gameday as the guest picker between then-No. 2 Georgia and No. 8 Arkansas in Athens, Georgia. Of course, he picked his Georgia Bulldogs to win (and Georgia went on to win 37-0).

On July 24, 2011, eight days after his victory at the Southern Amateur, English won the Nationwide Children's Hospital Invitational, following Daniel Summerhays (same event in 2007) and Russell Henley (2011 Stadion Classic at UGA) as the third amateur winner in Korn Ferry Tour history. The annual Korn Ferry Tour event has since been renamed the Nationwide Children's Hospital Championship and continues to be contested at the Ohio State University Golf Club in Columbus, Ohio. English, who celebrated his 22nd birthday on the eve of his victory, was awarded a sponsor exemption by virtue of being a 2011 All-America selection in his final season at University of Georgia. English delayed turning professional until after the 2011 Walker Cup in September, at which time he accepted Korn Ferry Tour membership.

Also earned four All-Southeastern Conference honors (First Team in 2009, 2010; Second Team in 2008, 2011).

Earned the third of his four collegiate victories at the 2009 Olympia Fields Illini Invitational at Olympia Field Country Club -- which hosted multiple BMW Championships as part of the FedExCup Playoffs (2020, 2023), two PGA Championships (1925, 1961), two U.S. Opens (1928, 2003), and the 2015 U.S. Amateur -- in the fall of his senior season.
