"We are so proud of Seth and stand behind him every step of the way as he pursues his dream of becoming a professional basketball player," said head coach Micah Shrewsberry. "Seth has the talent, work ethic and determination to succeed at the next level. He'll always have a support system in myself and his Penn State family."
Lundy put together a career-best season as a senior this year, finishing the 2022-23 campaign with 14.2 points and 6.3 rebounds per game. He proved to be one of the most efficiently productive players in the country, as one of only five Division I players to tally 10+ points per game and 6+ rebounds per game while shooting at least 50% from two-point range (53.3%), 40% from three-point range (40.0%) and 80% from the free throw line (80.7%).
The Paulsboro, N.J. native scored in double figures in 30 games this season while leading the Nittany Lions in rebounds in 12 games and tallying three double-doubles. His 3-point percentage ranked second in the Big Ten and was a top 40 mark in the country. In addition to his offensive consistency, Lundy served as one of the team's top defenders and was consistently tasked with guarding the opposing team's best players.
Lundy tallied 1,283 points, 560 rebounds and 229 3-pointers throughout his four-year career at Penn State. His field goal and three-point field goal percentages both took massive jumps this year to career best marks. Lundy made an immediate impact upon arrival in Happy Valley, playing in 122 games and making 96 career starts throughout his four years in the Blue & White.
