Huskies add an international commit to their 2019 class.
Lukรกลก Boฤkay has already made a big decision in his young football career, and now he has taken an even larger step after signing with the Saint Maryโs Huskies.
Boฤkay has only played football for three years. Before that he was a rugby player. Originally from Piestany, Slovakia, he joined the Bratislava Monarchs (AFL). He then moved to Finland to join the Seinรคjoki Crocodiles (FML/EFL). Now, he will be heading across the Atlantic to pursue his dreams further.
He said he chose SMU because of the football program, the university and the coaching staff. He added that both the staff and the teamโs quarterback are from the Czech Republic.
โI really like them,โ Boฤkay said of the staff. โVery kind people. I had long phone calls with the head coach himself and also with Coach Lothian. I like them a lot.โ
Standing at a towering 6โ8, 305lbs, the tackle is a former junior bobsleigher and water polo player. He also is a self-described gym rat. While with the Monarchs, the future psychology student won a Slovak Bowl and the AFL.
