Swanton Bulldog baseball standout Luke Marlow has signed a National Letter of Intent to continue his education and baseball career at Hocking College (Hawks) in Nelsonville, Ohio.  Luke, a First-Team All NWOAL Baseball selection and Northwest Ohio District I Baseball Player of the Year in 2025, has already broken several school career records with his senior year remaining.

“A big thing for me was it was the first school to offer me so that made it personal for me,” said Luke explain his choice.  “The coaches really made me feel at home, the (other) players were really nice and they are getting a brand-new field.”  Reflecting back on his yet unfinished but very impressive high school career Luke said, “It’s been good.  We’ve gotten better every year and this year we’re looking to do some pretty big things.”

Luke’s contributions to the 2025 Bulldogs helped the team set a school record of 19 wins which led to Head Coach Josh Siewert being named Northwest Ohio District I Baseball Player of the Year.  “He came in as a freshman and totally changed our culture.  It’s going to be rough knowing he’s gone after this year but he’s meant everything to this program,” said Coach Siewert speaking of Luke’s impact on Swanton baseball.  “He does a little bit of everything.  Hocking College has a good one coming to them.”

In the classroom, Luke plans on majoring in Criminal Justice with an eye on joining the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) after graduation.
