Aggressive Edge-to-LB Hybrid with Elite Sack Production and Leadership
Luke Richey is a data-driven standout whose 2023 high school season (95 tackles, 10 sacks) and Top 250 national edge ranking (247 Sports) prove his elite sack-making ability, now transitioning to LB at SJSU. His differentiators include an aggressive, leadership-driven intensity that earned him Team Defensive Player of the Year (2023) and All-Bay Area honors, plus a rare dual-sport background in football and lacrosse that sharpens his agility. Though he redshirted in 2024–2025 (no game play), his 6-3, 209-lb frame, 4.68s 40-yard dash, and 240-lb bench press signal explosive fit for any defensive scheme. With a business major focus and SJSU family ties (mom Laura graduated there), he brings loyalty and grit. Why care? He’s a high-intensity, sack-hunting leader who thrives in pressure—perfect for teams needing a versatile, intensity-driven LB with edge pedigree.
