Luke Channer PWO

Post by Hawks86 » Sat Apr 23, 2016 11:27 am

I know we talked about him a little bit before, but found this article on him.
Luke Channer is one big fellow. At 6’3”, 285 pounds, he’s one of the largest students at Corvallis. He’s also one of the bigger guys on the line that plays Class A football. And, to top it off, he was one of the larger wrestlers for the school and recently took fourth at the Class A state championships.

He is also one of a very few football players who will have a ‘preferred walk-on’ at Montana State University this fall. Channer has been given one of 10 slots that carry this title. This guarantees him a spot on the roster at day one of training camp. He will still have to earn his playing time but at least he doesn’t have to try out to even go to camp. Channer was given a full ride scholarship to Montana Tech at Butte but decided to go with Montana State’s offer. But he wanted to play at a higher level. MSU is a member of the Big Sky Conference.

By the way, he’s also slated to be named valedictorian for Corvallis. He maintains a 4.0 GPA with AP classes such as Statistics, Anatomy, and Government

Love these kinds of stories. I'm in awe of anyone with a 4.0 gpa

The 4.0 is impressive, but the fact that he has a 4.0 while taking AP classes is even more impressive.

Luke's senior year film. Here is what I wrote about him Feb. 13, 2016 and last summer. He gained 30 or so pounds since his sophomore season.
He is a two time all-conference offensive guard (1st team in 2015 and 2nd team in 2014) out of the Southwestern A conference. Here is what I wrote about him for the Shrine Game Breakdowns:
Luke played guard for Corvallis. He has a good release off the line and gets into defenders quickly, shooting his hands. He also does a good job of finishing his blocks. He takes good angles to get his defender turned. Luke does have position flexibility which is key for lineman. Luke has the tools and I'm interested to see how what happens to him or if he decides to play football. From what I see on tape, he has the ability to be a good college lineman.

I'm sure he'll earn a scholarship eventually, but I'm sure he's on an academic scholarship for most (if not all) of his expenses. Impressive kid!
