LSU freshman offensive lineman Rory Luke has been named one of the finalists for the 2015 National Football Foundation (NFF) High School Scholar-Athlete Award, the NFF and College Hall of Fame announced Friday.
Luke, from New Orleans, is one of five honorees who are being recognized for their previous high school accomplishments. The award is presented to one player from the country’s five regions as the best and brightest for their accomplishments as athletes, scholars and citizens.
Luke was a member of the National Honor Society and earned all-district in football, and he was nominated for the national scholar-athlete award by the NFF Allstate Sugar Bowl (Louisiana) Chapter.
The five winners from each of the regions will travel to New York to be honored during the NFF Chapter Awards Luncheon in December.
A graduate of the University of Florida and founder of Saturday Down South, Kevin is a college football enthusiast.
