LSU Baseball has landed a commitment from Wofford right-handed ace Zac Cowan. Cowan was one of the most coveted prospects in the portal and will bring his talents to Baton Rouge after posting a 10-and-2 record and 3.35 ERA with the Terriers. The All-So-Con pitcher will look to compete for a starting slot with the Tigers next season. There have also been rumors he’ll be joined by Wofford freshman Camden Wicker.

Cowan is the third addition to LSU Coach Jay Johnson’s transfer class already featuring South Florida right-handed pitcher Chandler Dorsey and Indiana State slugger Luis Hernandez. Hernandez announced his commitment to the Tigers yesterday on the heels of a 23-home run season in Indiana. He finished with a .359 batting average and 76 RBI helping the Sycamores to a top 20-ranked season.
