"The game of golf has given me so much, including the opportunity to play for Emmanuel. This institution is a special place with a lot of amazing people that truly changed my life. I'm so thankful for the opportunity to give back to the Emmanuel community and the game of golf, and I hope to impact my players the way this place has impacted me. I love all of the guys on our team and can't wait to serve them and our incoming student athletes for years to come."
Emmanuel's Vice President for Athletics Nate Moorman had this to say on Reese's hiring, "Logan more than proved himself ready to lead the men's program by the impact he had on the men's team during the 2021-22 school year. He not only led with great passion, but was impactful athletically and personally on several of our male golfers. We're thankful for his willingness to continue to lead. It's always a special opportunity when two of your recent and successful alumni want to come back to EC to serve and lead with such great passion. We're looking forward to a very bright future for both of our golf programs."
