Luke Garcia '27 Recruiting Profile

My goal as a collegiate athlete is to grow both on and off the field, challenging myself academically and athletically. I envision being part of a team where I can contribute my skills and dedication, constantly working to improve and positively impact my teammates and coaches. My commitment to excellence fuels my ambition to compete at the next level, where I am determined to bring a mindset focused on growth, discipline, and resilience.

What sets me apart as a candidate is not just my versatility across sports like football, wrestling, track, and chess but also my dedication to learning and leadership. At 5’6” and 130 lbs., I know the importance of maximizing my potential through hard work and discipline. As a starting running back, I take pride in my ability to read the field, anticipate plays, and execute with precision, often serving as a reliable option for my team. My experience across multiple sports has taught me the value of being coachable, as I consistently seek feedback and work hard to apply it. I am deeply committed to fostering a supportive, competitive team environment, always pushing my limits while supporting those around me.

Academically, I hold a 4.0 GPA and take a challenging course load with honors classes in math, science, and foreign language. This academic rigor has strengthened my time-management skills and taught me the value of persistence, qualities I bring to every practice and game. Competing in chess outside of sports helps me stay sharp, fueling my competitive nature and strategic thinking, both of which I apply on the field. 

Thank you for considering me as a potential student-athlete for your program. I am excited about the opportunity to bring my commitment, character, and passion for excellence to your team.
