Marjory Stoneman Douglas students and brothers, Rylan Lujo and Rolando Lujo have announced their college picks.
Rylan is set to play in the SEC with the University of Georgia after winning four State championships at MSD.
“I am super excited and thankful to all the coaches and staff at Georgia to give me this opportunity to play at the next level,” Rylan said. “Also, very thankful to the Dayton coaches and community for setting me up to succeed.”
Rylan, who graduated in 2024, was an All-American and was an Atlantic 10 Freshman of the Week three times after starting his college career at the University of Dayton.. He hit .361 with nine home runs and 56 RBIs while the team won 27 games a season ago.
The grandson of former World Series Champion Rennie Stennett, he hit .407 during his high school career, along with 10 home runs and 81 RBIs. He also hit .453 as a senior and won three National Championships under Coach Todd Fitz-Gerald.
Rylan is set to join a University of Georgia baseball team that went 43-17 a season ago. They had a win against Binghamton in their first postseason game, but went on to fall against Duke and Oklahoma State.
“I feel like I am where I’m supposed to be and eager to get to work, and I am going to show Georgia they indeed got themselves a ‘DAWG‘,” Lujo added. “
Rolando will be playing at Keiser University and won a State and National Championship with MSD in 2021.
“It’s super exciting to be able to have the opportunity to play for a great team like Keiser,” Rolando said. “I am thrilled to develop my game and meet new people there.”
Rolando spent two seasons on the varsity baseball team. He hit .450, drove in a pair of RBIs, and scored eight runs. In college, Rolando played for Erskine College and the University of Fort Lauderdale, shining with a .388 batting average. He hit nine home runs and also drove in 66 runs.
“I believe my game has skyrocketed since high school,” Rolando added. “I just think that I’ve gained more strength and muscle since then, and it has really helped me on the baseball field.”
Keiser is coming off a season in which they went 37-17 and reached the NAII Regionals, winning two games.
