UConn “Very Fortunate” to Have Drew MacLeod Joining Squad
La Salle star Drew MacLeod officially committed to the University of Connecticut during Thursday’s signing day ceremony at La Salle Academy.
MacLeod will join the Huskies in the fall of 2027.
“We are really excited to have Drew joining our program. He is a terrific competitor who has had a lot of success playing a strong national schedule, including winning back-to-back Rhode Island High School Individual State Championships. What I really appreciate about Drew is how he carries himself. He competes hard, handles himself with class, and has earned the respect of his fellow competitors and rules officials,” said UConn Head Coach Dave Pezzino in a statement.
Pezzino added, “Drew also comes from a great golf family. His sister, Morgan, played golf at Merrimack, and his mom, Angel, is the Women’s Golf Coach at Bryant and a 11-time club champion at Wannamoisett. He’s also an accomplished hockey player, which speaks to his athleticism and competitive nature. We feel very fortunate to have Drew joining our UConn Golf family.”
MacLeod heads into his final high school golf season looking to three-peat as Rhode Island State Champion.
He will also lead La Salle’s quest for a six-peat in the team title department.
UConn also announced Connecticut’s Will Lord will be joining MacLeod in the fall of 2027.
“Both Drew and Will are prototypical UConn Golf Men. They have the talent, character, and competitive drive we want in our program, and I believe their best golf is still ahead,” added Pezzino.
MacLeod is one of a handful of Rhode Islanders set to play Division I college golf next fall.
Others include Rocco Capalbo (Providence), Cooper Fitzpatrick and Jake Nocon, both playing at Stonehill.
On the girls side, Johnston star Elizabeth Kue is headed to Bryant.
