McMullen '10 Discusses Route to Becoming a Tiger

In an article recently published by The Advocate, Sean McMullen ’10 discusses his time being recruited and playing at Delgado before becoming the lead-off man for the LSU Tigers.

After earning all-state honors at Brother Martin his senior year, McMullen was recruited by several colleges outside of the Southeastern Conference, but didn’t get the interest from the schools he wanted most.

“I didn’t want to have to feel like I settled,” he said. “I wanted to be somewhere I wanted to be, and I felt like the junior-college route could get me there.”

So McMullen spent two years playing for coach Joe Scheuermann at Delgado Community College, developing into a junior-college All-American and enhancing his status as a major-college prospect.

Now, he helps lead LSU into the College World Series.
