Know Your Future Jackrabbits: Luke Reimer

 Image result for Luke Reimer Football

Last week the Jackrabbits received a verbal from Luke Reimer a standout from Lincoln, Nebraska and part of the growing group of #NebraskaJacks at SDSU. 



Reimer is a pure athlete that can play all over the field.  He prides himself on being versatile on offense and defense and playing wherever he is needed.  Luke said that his goal on the field is to play with great physicality and speed.  That speed has also translated to the track where Luke was clocked at a 10.9 100m dash this spring.  He also clocked a 4.53 40 at a UNL Friday Night Lights event this summer.  Like most young players, Luke wants to work on the mental side of the game and recognizing plays faster.

Luke had a busy recruitment process and held offers from Buffalo, UNI, USD, and Iowa Western Community College.  He chose SDSU because of the winning culture.  He knows the goal is the win a national championship and he said that the rest of his class is committed to bringing one to Brookings.  Coach Jackson and Coach Rogers were instrumental in getting Luke to commit to SDSU and he committed while in Brookings on June 22nd.   Luke also liked the people on campus and said that he plans to major in business.

Luke's team goal for the upcoming season is to help his team make the playoffs in Nebraska.  His individual goal is to earn Super State which is a recognition that goes to the best players in Nebraska.

To see Luke making plays all over the field checkout these highlights.

Welcome to SDSU and Go Jacks!

Jackrabbit Football All-Decade Team

Yes, we are well into the new year/decade but our debate has been fierce in creating an All-Decade Jackrabbit football team.  The challenges of creating this team were what to do with the players at the beginning and the end of the decade who may only have a year or two of stats to go on or what do we do with those players who only splashed for one year?  Further complicating matters was the consistent improvement of the Jackrabbit team as a whole and the level of competition they are facing week in and week out.  So with all of those factors, the Splitting Hares Podcast team of Ben Pierson, Brendan Luedtke, Kyle Sheehan, and Dallas Clarksean created our list of who the team should be.  All are welcome to their opinions!  Special thanks to Mitchell McLain who keeps an unbelievable database of Jackrabbit football statistics and information.  Offense Quarterback Taryn Christion (2015-2018) 44 games started, 59.70% completion rate, 11,535 yards passing, 104 TD, 2,197 rus

Top 5 Favorite Jackrabbit Football Players

Remember the great scene from "The Sandlot" where Benny wakes up to the ghost of Babe Ruth coming out of his closet?  If you remember, the boys from the sandlot were in a pickle.  A signed Babe Ruth baseball had been hit over the fence and into a junkyard that was roamed by a giant dog named "The Beast" and an old grouchy man who instructed the dog to eat intruders (or so the legend said) lived alone.  Anyways, the best part of the dream scene is Babe Ruth's advice to Benny, "Hero's get remembered, but legends never die." Who are the legends of Jackrabbit football?  What plays and contribution did they make that stand out?  I had this discussion on Twitter on my personal account a few months ago, but I decided I wanted to bring it to the blog.  We can debate all day who the BEST Jackrabbits are, but who are your FAVORITE Jackrabbits of all time?  Who are the legendary players to you?  I've been closely following the Jacks since the fa
