BLOOMINGTON, Ind. - Indiana men's golf head coach Mike Mayer announced that Drew Allenspach (Sugar Land, Texas), Seth Brandon (Dalton, Ga.), Jorge Campillo (Caceres, Spain) and Brandon Pike (LaFontaine, Ind.) have signed letters-of-intent to attend Indiana University beginning in the fall semester of 2005.
In the coming weeks, we will spotlight each IU signee individually. The first Hoosier in the spotlight is Drew Allenspach.
Allenspach led Fort Bend Elkins High School to the 5A State Championship in 2003. As an individual, he tied for sixth at the 2002 State Championship and tied for 15th in 2004. The Sugar Land, Texas, product has also built a strong resume playing in junior tournaments. He has recorded three top 25s in three American Junior Golf Association (AJGA) events, highlighted by a 20th-place finish at the Columbus Junior this past summer (Aug. 2-5). Allenspach finished 24th at the OSSO Junior at Oak Tree from June 28-July 1, and ended the PING Harvey Penick Junior in 25th place on July 5-8.
In addition, Allenspach carded a 210 (71-71-68) en route to a seventh-place finish at the Bubba Conlee National Junior on June 8-10. He carded third-place finishes at the Texas Junior Golf Tour (TJGT) Fish Creek (72-77) on Jan. 17-18, and at the Future Collegiate World Tour (FCWT) Bear Creek East Junior Golf (77-70) on Nov. 15-16, 2003.
"Drew is an outstanding young man," said Mayer. "Athletically and academically, he is the whole package. His uncles, Mark and Mitch, played golf here at IU and Drew will keep the legacy going. Drew is excited to be coming to the Midwest, and we are excited to have him. I think Drew will be a tremendous asset to our program."
