Luke Bottari '19 Recruiting Profile

My Goal is to compete in Football as I get my College Degree.  Though I am on the younger side for my Class,  I have consistently competed with kids older then myself both on the field competitively and off the field academically. In addition to winning Offensive MVP of my HS team in 2015, I also won the coveted Padre Award on the HS baseball team in 2016, which is being the most respected leader, both ON and off the field.  I went on to Varsity my soph year and was all league Honorable Mention. 

I am not loud, and I am not a showboat, I am measured and focused in how I attack the game. I also attack my schoolwork that way. I am prepared ahead of time for tests, just like I prepare during the week for Football games. I am driven and my number one goal is to lead a College Football team, build a family of my team and my Coaches. 

I am fortunate enough to be part of an amazing football program at Serra and this past year we took our team (that started 0-4) all the way to the California DII championship game, where we lost by just 1 point. While loosing is never easy, the season was a solid learning lesson to keep faith, keep working and never ever give up. I learned the value of teamwork, sacrifice and commitment this past year, as a sophomore, without coming home with that state trophy. The older players on my team took me in and made me one of their own, which I relished and loved leading them.  I"m looking for a program that will be a good fit for me athletically, (pro style), as well as academically. I believe I not only have the talent to compete for a college team, but more importantly the character, work-ethic and leadership skills to make an immediate impact on your program. As a two sport athlete, even though I am younger than most in my '19 grade, I am a tenured QB, solid and mature,  and I know I have what it takes to be a leader on your team!
