The whirlwind surrounding Treasure Coast High School’s Jeff Luc continues now with a pair of offers from two more top BCS Division I schools.

Saturday saw offers come in from Ohio St. University and Georgia Tech University for Luc who now has about 20 offers from major Division I programs. Luc who rose to prominence when his video appeared on the Gridironstuds.com website was offered from USC and North Carolina close to two weeks ago making him a national recruit. Luc is expected to become a 5-star recruit by next week, a move that is long overdue.

Last week, Luc took an unofficial visit down to the University of Miami campus to check out spring practice for the Hurricanes. He had the opportunity to meet several of the Hurricane coaches along with new signees and current recruits for Miami. Luc was surprised by the down to Earth nature of Hurricane head coach Randy Shannon. Many feel Luc will stay in state to attend one of the three major schools, however, he and his family insist that he will look at the total picture before making a decision. Any speculation as to where he will go is just that, speculation.

Luc finished off his junior season with 125 tackles, 97 solo, 22 for a loss, one fumble recovery, one interception and countless hurt feelings. Luc’s video may be one of the best you’ve seen for a high school linebacker. If you have not had a chance to, check out the highlight video that got this all started for the head crusher from Treasure Coast. Jeff Luc’s highlight video.

When you rise up the charts as fast as Jeff Luc has in recruiting circles, you become a candidate for the rumor mill. In Jeff Luc’s case, many have speculated on his chances of going to the University of Miami, why his family moved from the Miami to Port St. Lucie and their connection with the family of Bryan Pata, the murdered UM football player

Luc’s brother, Alex has reached out to set some things straight and inform those interested as to what the real situation is. The Luc family were Miami residents when Jeff was younger. With too much free time on his hands and plenty of negative influences around, Jeff started to drift off the path to success.

“Jeff was headed in the wrong direction,” Alex said in referring to their time in Miami. “He hung out with the wrong crowd and was always in and out of trouble.”

Luc’s parents tried everything and according to Alex, they were left no other choice but to move out of Miami and chose Port St. Lucie. It was there that Jeff discovered football and got his act together. “He made his 360 degree turn around,” said Alex. “If it wasn’t for the sport, I don’t know what would have been of Jeff,” he added.

Despite Jeff getting on track, his parents are a little reluctant to have him return to Miami because they know his old friends and the old neighborhood loom in the darkness waiting to reclaim him. However, Alex insists that Jeff has changed and what tempted him in the past can no longer do so.

“I am pretty much convinced that those days are behind him,” said Alex. “He has matured a lot and he’s a very good kid. My parent have not given him full credit for that yet.”

Alex has counseled his brother on several occassions as to what kind of people he should keep around him and feels that Jeff will do what is right.

Then there’s the Bryan Pata situation. When Pata was murdered a lot of the Luc family and friends said that if Pata didn’t go to Miami he would be alive today but Alex disagrees. “I don’t think that is right because no one really knows what happened,” he said.

Jeff’s plans, if he were to attend UM would, be to wear #95 in honor of Bryan Pata. Alex attended Florida St. and admits that he is a big FSU fan but wants to make it clear that the decision as to where Jeff goes to school is Jeff’s. He also states that Jeff is really “hyped” that people are recognizing him. This could be bad news for Treasure Coast opponents this year. I think they better all find out what “hyped” means. Does that mean more big hits to put on next year’s highlight film? Treasure Coast High School has just moved to Class 6-A in the State of Florida. There’s a chance he could have a few games against Dade County opposition if Treasure Coast makes it to the playoffs.
