Early years
Luke Laraque was born in Manchester, New Hampshire on May 7th, 2040 by father Bob and mother Lorraine Laraque. He spent most of his younger years playing a multitude of sports from basketball to ice hockey. His parents insisted he try out every sport and not specialize in one at a young age. Eventually he found his love of football sometime during his middle school years while playing pop warner football. Being a taller and heavier than average kid his youth coaches always had him playing on the offensive and defensive line. As a kid Luke didn't love this as most kids want to play skill positions where you contribute offensively. Through high school he found his love for playing defensive end, particularly sacking the quarterback.There is some sort of odd joy involved when you absolutely truck an opposing player, especially one who is guarded so heavily. Luke recieved more than a few collegiate scholarship offers to play Division 1 football in the NCAA. He settled on UNH as it was close to home.
