Luke is a recruiting success story-his Senior year his offers maybe weren't where he wanted-he went D3, balled out on the field and in the classroom, bet on himself and his play, and has leveled up all the way to Power 5 in the portal!

Thank you to St. Peterโs in Kirkwood for hosting the
@SLUHfootball
family today as we gathered for team mass before the season. Just five days until kickoff-canโt wait to hit the field with this group.
โThe Hinck-Hereford Award is conferred on the senior who excels in leadership, scholarships, and athletics and who in the opinion of the senior class is judged most deserving of this award.โ Canโt think of a more deserving in recipient than Christopher Brooks Jr.
On this day 11 years ago a great coach and better man passed away. Whether it was staying late each day until the last kid was done in the weight room, or having a personal heartfelt speech for every single player at the banquet, Coach T was the epitome of a man for others.
Got to check in with our OL captain

To my guys, both on the football team and in the English classroom: donโt forget to reach out to your classmates, both now and when virtual school begins! And not just your regular buddies (keep up with them, too) but the quiet guy in your class who youโre โschool friendsโ with.
So incredibly freakin proud of my guy
