Luke Ford '18 Recruiting Profile

US ARMY ALL AMERI...
Junior Year Offen...Personal Statement
My attributes in all aspects are that I will outwork everyone . I'm in the weight room at 5 am everyday. Then I go to school, attend practice for 3 hours followed by another work out or a run of the hills for a couple more hours before doing my homework! I believe in honor, integrity, discipline, respect and probably my most important is my love for my Lord and family . Teamwork is a foundation of my life .
Although I desire and in fact dream of playing in the NFL, I understand the statistics are against me and therefore realize that my first best option is a collegiate education while working relentlessly toward my NFL goals.
I get a huge portion of my drive from my brother, Noah who is my role model and a D1 TE/FB. Noah was able to get an academic full ride and then able to walk on the D1 football team as FB/TE.. Noah has always made me go harder, push longer, run farther and establish my definitive work ethic.
