BOWLING GREEN, Ky. – WKU Men's Golf head coach Chan Metts announced the NLI signing of Elliott Pope of Lugoff, S.C., on Wednesday afternoon.
"Elliott has had a really solid junior career that included a win at the Carolinas/Georgia Junior this year," said Metts. "He is an extremely hard worker on the course and in the classroom. I know he will be a great addition to our program in both areas."
The South Carolina native logged seven years as a varsity golfer at the Cardinal Newman School. He earned All-State accolades in 2019 in addition to three years on the SCISA Region III All-Region Team. Pope won the 2020 Carolinas/Georgia Junior Championship alongside three top-10 finishes in SCJGA events in 2019.
In the classroom, Pope has been named to the Bishop Honor Roll in each year from 2016-2019. He is a member of the National Honor Society and has been given the Presidential Academic Excellence Award each of the last four years.
In May 2020, Pope developed a fundraiser of his own kind for the American Cancer Society. He called it "Par For The Cure" and raised nearly $9,000 by walking and playing 101 holes in a single day.
