Luke Adams is recognized for his outstanding accomplishments as a student-athlete.
Notre Dame senior Luke Adams, who’s served as one of Notre Dame’s special student ambassadors, earned the 2017 All-American Athlete of the Year Award from the National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA).
Adams has been a starting linebacker/running back all four years on Notre Dame Prep’s football team.
“Also, we are glad that Siebert joined the NSCA to ensure athlete safety and improve athletic performance,” said Scott Caulfield, the NSCA’s head strength and conditioning coach. “Supporting NSCA-certified coaches and student-athletes like Luke is the foundation the NSCA is built upon.”
Siebert said that Adams has been one of the hardest working student-athletes he’s ever worked with. “His work ethic is second to none and it shows in his athletic and academic success,” Siebert said. “I am very fortunate to have had the opportunity to nominate him for this award.”
Adams has been a four-year starter for the Fighting Irish football team where he’s earned spots on Michigan’s All-State, All-Catholic and Academic All State teams among many others. He will be attending and playing football at Columbia University in the fall.
