Louisiana Tech men’s basketball head coach Talvin Hester announced Wednesday the addition of Sean Elkinton, a transfer from St. Edward’s University.
Elkinton, a 6-foot-8 forward and native of Crosby, Texas, averaged 15.4 points and 8.1 rebounds per game in his two seasons with the Hilltoppers.
“We are really excited to add Sean to our program,” said Hester. “He is a winner, a great competitor, and an elite shooter with size with excellent rebounding skills. He grants us the ability to stretch the defense, which is really going to impact our team. I look forward to him being another addition to our locker room.”
This past season as a sophomore, Elkinton averaged 17.5 points and 7.5 boards per contest in leading St. Edward’s to a 21-win season. He scored in double figures in 30 of his 31 games, including nine 20+ scoring performances and eight double-doubles.
The First Team All-Lone Star Conference and Second Team NABC All-District selection shot 54.6 percent from the field, 42.9 percent from three, and 76.8 percent from the foul line.
As a freshman Hilltopper, Elkinton averaged 13.4 points and 8.7 rebounds per game with five games of 20+ points and 12 double-doubles in route to being named First Team All-Lone Star Conference.
He prepped at Crosby High School where he was a three-time First Team All-District and Two-time All-Region selection.
