Luke Lee Skywalker (born January 7, 1999) is an American football quarterback who is currently unsigned by a professional team. He played college football for University of Michigan and has declared his intent to enter the professional ranks next season.

Early years

Luke Skywalker was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania to Dr. Lee, a electrical engineer, and Kim Skywalker, a piano teacher. Both of his parents graduated from the University of Michigan, and his childhood Saturdays were spent cheering on his parents' alumni with his parents. Skywalker developed an interest in football as a youth, and joined little leagues until he entered high school at Parkland High.

Tragedy struck in high school when the Skywalker family discovered that Kim had brain cancer. Skywalker took a short break from football to be with his family, but his mother encouraged him to find his joy on the field. He returned to football his sophomore year in high school, and eventually brought his team to multiple Division I championship games. Skywalker often said that his high school football career was dedicated to his mom, and his skills as a leader on and off the field earned him a full ride to Lehigh Valley University, Ohio State, University of Michigan, and several other schools.

Due to his mother's illness, Skywalker decided to stay near to his family and chose to start his freshman year at Lehigh University before ultimately transferring to Michigan after his mother made a full recovery.

College career

Freshman year:

Skywalker started his freshman year at Lehigh University as a backup to Tyler Monaco where, like most freshmen, he saw little in-game play, but was known as a force in the locker room. He played for one game when Monaco became ill with the flu, where he threw for a total of 140 yards and 3 touchdowns to overwhelm Lafayette University 40 - 3.

Sophomore year:

After his freshmen year, Skywalker transferred to his dream school, the University of Michigan, where he served backup to Shea Waterson until he replaced an injured Waterson during the third quarter of the Ohio state game. He went 16-or-21 for 190 yards and two touchdowns to bring his team to victory.

Junior year: Skywalker started his junior year as the starter for the Wolverines. Harbaugh would go on to praise Skywalker as a great leader, citing the final game of the season against Ohio State. The Wolverines entered halftime losing 3 - 21 due to a combination of bad play calls and an injured defensive line. Skywalker rallied his team to overcome the deficit, throwing 5 touchdowns and running in 1 to eventually win the game 42 - 28. He would lead his team to an undefeated season, leading his team to their first Rose Bowl game (and win) in his junior year where he was named MVP of the game.

Senior year: His senior year would be the best season ever, breaking 3 Michigan records (most passing yards in a game, most touchdowns in a game, most yards run by a quarterback in a season). He would bring the Wolverines to the first College Championship game where he set a school record for passing yards in a game (505 yards, record previously held by Devin Gardner), although his team would ultimately fall to Alabama in a heartbreaking OT.
