HAMMOND, La. – Sulphur, Louisiana native Landen East will continue his academic and athletic endeavors as a member of the Southeastern Louisiana University men's golf program, SLU head coach Lawrence Allan announced Friday.
 
East is entering his senior season at Sulphur High School and is also part of the Southwest Louisiana (SWLA) junior travel team. The 6-1 East will make his collegiate debut in the 2023-24 season.  
 
East is the reigning District 3-5A individual champion and finished his junior season with seven top-10 and 11 top-20 showings in 15 starts on the prep and travel circuit throughout Louisiana and Texas.
 
Allan, who is in the midst of his first season overseeing the Lion golf program, is excited about the addition of the talented in-state performer.
 
"Landen is a fantastic addition and someone we expect to be one of the top players in the state in his senior season," Allan commented. "We're better as a program with Landen apart of our family. We're adding a great player and great person."
 
East's future teammates will open the spring portion of its 2022-23 slate Feb. 26-27, competing in the Gulf Coast Intercollegiate in Diamondhead, Mississippi.
