La Salle senior Charlie Melvin has committed to play golf at Penn State Wilkes-Barre starting in the fall of 2024, he announced on social media.
“I’m looking forward to attending Penn State in the fall and playing golf for Coach Keil & The Lions,” writes Melvin on social media.
According to his dad, Jim Melvin Jr., Charlie will be on the 2plus2 plan, meaning he will go to Penn State WB for two years and play Division II golf, before transferring to the main campus for the final two years.
