Collins on Dasher: "Luke is someone who we have had our eye on for a long time. Luke is the 2018 Georgia State Junior Champion and became the #1 ranked junior golfer in Georgia. He then had an injury that kept him out of golf for over five months and fell from the top. Once healthy, Luke worked hard to battle all the way back to the top spot in Georgia with some great golf in 2018-2019. Throughout his junior career, he has not only shown a lot of talent and success, but he has displayed a lot of toughness and perseverance.  The future is very bright for Luke and we cannot wait to see him represent Georgia Southern in navy and white!!"
