RUSTON, La. - Louisiana Tech Athletics Director Tommy McClelland announced today that Jeff Jenkins has resigned effective July 31 as the Bulldogs head golf coach.

"I respect Jeff and the way in which he conducted himself as head coach over the past three years," said McClelland. "I accept Jeff's resignation and wish Jeff and his family all the best in the future."

Jenkins came to Louisiana Tech in June of 2014 after four seasons as an assistant coach at Texas Tech in Lubbock.

"I am grateful for the opportunity I was given to coach at Louisiana Tech," Jenkins said. "I wish the Ruston community, Squire Creek and Tech Athletics all the best."

McClelland said the search for Jenkins replacement would begin immediately.
