JONESBORO, Ark. (11/11/26) – Arkansas State men's golf head coach Mike Hagen announced Wednesday the signing of Luke Furlong, one of Ireland's top junior golfers, to join the Red Wolves program.

"Luke has proven himself against elite competition throughout Ireland and Europe," said Hagen. "We're excited to add a player with international experience, a strong winning mentality and tremendous consistency to our program. We believe Luke has all the tools to make an immediate impact at Arkansas State."

Currently ranked among the top 50 junior golfers in Europe, Furlong carries a 70.0 scoring average and is widely regarded as one of Ireland's premier young talents. A native of Ireland, Furlong has compiled an impressive résumé on the national and international stage. He claimed titles at both the Irish Boys Championship and Irish Schools Championship while also posting a tie for third place at the Ulster Boys Championship and a tie for ninth at the Scottish Boys Championship.

Furlong has represented Ireland in both the Home Internationals and the Boys European Team Championships and is slated to be a member of the Irish Under-18 National Team again next season. Over the last three years, he has recorded nine top-10 finishes in Golf Ireland events, showcasing remarkable consistency against some of the nation's top competition.

Furlong will join the Red Wolves for the 2027-28 season.
