Jacob Luebke '26 Recruiting Profile

As a passionate and dedicated wrestler with over 150 career wins heading into my junior year, I’ve developed a deep commitment to excellence both on and off the mat. My accomplishments include being a 4-time state qualifier, 3-time section champion, and a 3-time placewinner at the Rumble on the Red. I also earned 6th place at the MSHSL State Wrestling Tournament as a freshman. Along the way, I’ve broken my school's records for takedowns, near falls, most wins in a season, and most wins in school history.

Beyond my high school achievements, I have proven my skill on the national stage as a Montana AAU State Champion, a Fargo Nationals qualifier, and a 2-time Minnesota Freestyle State medalist (2nd place in 2024, 3rd place in 2025). These experiences have instilled in me a relentless drive to improve, a commitment to hard work, and an appreciation for the value of both individual and team success.

What sets me apart is not just my athletic ability, but my mindset. I am mentally and physically resilient, consistently pushing myself beyond my limits. I take pride in being coachable and always willing to learn. Whether it's perfecting my technique, elevating my fitness, or strategizing for competition, I put in the effort necessary to be one of the hardest-working athletes around. My positive attitude and willingness to support my teammates are cornerstones of my success, as I know that wrestling is not just about individual triumph but about contributing to the collective success of the team.

In the classroom, I apply the same discipline and work ethic that I bring to my athletic career. I strive for high academic achievement and maintain a strong GPA, balancing the demands of sports and academics with the goal of preparing for my future.

As I look toward my college career, I am committed to continuing my academic and athletic development. I plan to study diligently, focusing on the skills needed to succeed in my chosen field. By maintaining a strong academic record, I aim to attract opportunities for internships and job offers that align with my career goals. I understand the importance of building a professional network and setting a clear career path to ensure long-term success.

Ultimately, I am driven by a desire to achieve excellence, not only as an athlete but as a well-rounded individual. My dedication to wrestling, academics, and personal growth has shaped me into a motivated, compassionate, and hardworking individual ready to contribute to your college community.
