"It's an exciting time for all of us here at Penn State Hazleton" remarked Lombard. "Jeremy is an outstanding addition to our golf program and we welcome him to our family of student-athletes." Jeremy will graduate from Crestwood Area High School later this spring and become the second graduate from the local school to join the squad in recent years.
