“He leads from the front and plays with a fire that is infectious to everyone around him. Luke Rubenzer epitomizes what it means to be a Gatorade Player of the Year both on and off the field. He strives for perfection in everything he does and always holds himself and everyone around him accountable for their actions. He leads from the front and plays with a fire that is infectious to everyone around him. His career statistics are mind numbing, but what defines Luke as a player is his commitment to excellence and his willingness to do whatever it takes to win. As an undersized quarterback, he has been told time and time again he'll never make it to the next level. Rather than letting that negativity discourage him, he has turned it into fuel that drives his every waking moment. I am convinced that if he puts his mind to it, there isn't anything he can't achieve!”
