Meet Landon Shumate, a Sumiton Christian High School senior whose talents extend beyond the sports arena. Landon has been making waves as a second baseman and pitcher in baseball for coach Ricky Bowen.

Landon has also proven himself to be a remarkable student, upholding a 3.8 GPA.

As he looks ahead to his graduation in May 2024, Landon plans to attend the University of Alabama at Birmingham, study business, and play baseball for the Blazers.

“It’s good to know that I am good enough to go play somewhere in college, especially at the D-1 level. It’s a good opportunity for me because not many people get to play at this level.” Landon says.

Landon is the son of Heath and Karen Shumate.

Congratulations, Landon, on your athletic and academic accomplishments. We wish you the best in your future endeavors! WL
