Huskies add an international commit to their 2019 class.
LukΓ‘Ε‘ BoΔkay 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 Maryβs Huskies.
BoΔkay 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 SeinΓ€joki 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 teamβs quarterback are from the Czech Republic.
βI really like them,β BoΔkay said of the staff. βVery kind people. I had long phone calls with the head coach himself and also with Coach Lothian. I like them a lot.β
Standing at a towering 6β8, 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.
