"Luke is a mature young man with incredible golf talent and dedication to academic success," Odom said. "He has shown the ability to shoot low scores, contend consistently and win golf tournaments. Luke is an all-around athlete in other sports as well. Luke will make an immediate impact for our program next fall."

"Tomas is an exciting young player from Spain with international competitive experience," Odom said. "Tomas is currently a member of the Spanish national team and studies at an academy away from his home setup much like college. Tomas is eager to study in the United States and pursue his dream of college golf and the business program at KSU. Much like Luke, Tomas will become an immediate asset to our team on and off the course."
