Sounds like such a well spoken kid.
A good sign with a kid when he has a P5 offer and Ivy League interest.
I thought last years recruiting class was our best ever, but with this kind of start to the 2019 class it might surpass 2018. Welcome Luke.
The best part about this young man committing early is that he can be an awesome recruiter for us.
My guess is he is an awesome leader and will heavily try to get others who receive offers to come here. Once other recruits see his comments and the other offers he received, many will surely say, "That sounds like an awesome place and a team that is going to kick ass, so I should join him." Not only that, but we have a proven track record of producing NFL talent.
This has been seen before with guys like Stick and Lance just to name a few.
What a great situation!

“Honestly, all the FBS teams don’t want to face NDSU,” Weerts said. “It’s a cool place and I don’t see the culture changing at all. I see them staying the way they are and that’s what drew me toward them over those FBS schools.”
NDSU is big ball rolling down hill right now, there is no stopping the momentum. A BIG draw to NDSU is the recent Pro Day with 21-22? teams in attendance. Goes back to the old saying "IF your good enough, they will find you". With that in mind, go play at a top flight FCS program, get national t.v. exposure etc... Vs. getting lost in the crowd at an FBS school that has newbies coming in the back door every year and little security as a player.
How many Tom Brady's do you think have come and past without playing time? He never started a game at Michigan (that I recall). Fell in behind a 3-4 year starter that never plays bad enough to "lose the job". at NDSU your probably gonna get your shot!!!!
