Luke Combs '22 Recruiting Profile

I was a crossfit athlete for years, and quickly discovered success.  I had an ability and a willingness to go places mentally, that others simply would not.  While in high school I wanted to compete on a team sport, but crossfit was not an option.  I went out for wrestling, won my first two matches (almost by accident) and in my third match broke my collar bone.  I had to have a six-inch metal plate screwed in; regardless, I was hooked.  Wrestling has consumed me ever since.  In my junior year as a varsity starter I went 12-6, with 3 of those losses coming from “top 15” state ranked opponents.  I finished in the top 24 in state with a trip to regionals.  Since then I have wrestled year-round, with the help of two off season coaches.  As Yianni Diakomihalis says, "I’m literally a new wrestler every week."

 My dad is a firefighter, and my mom is a personal trainer.  My entire life has been shaped around: faith, service, character, and frankly… toughness.  Both my parents have raised me to believe that the quality of your work reveals your character.  My dad has always told me that who I am is more important than what I choose to do; although I’m pretty sure he would like me to be a firefighter.  

My name is Luke Combs.  I just turned eighteen years old.  I am quiet, but determined.  I have a curious mind and can memorize data like a true nerd.  I am funny, but often introverted.  I am more conservative than most people my age.  I am a Christian.  I am mentally tough and can find comfort in the uncomfortable.  I am respectful.  I am loyal.  I am consistent.  I am coachable, and I am one of the hardest working people you will ever meet.

 This is who I am, and what I want to do is wrestle.

 Respectfully,

 Luke H. Combs
