YPSILANTI, Mich. (EMUEagles.com) — Eastern Michigan University Head Football Coach Chris Creighton continued to add to his roster for the upcoming 2020 campaign, as the Eagles added tight end Lucas Luft (Naples, Fla.-Gulf Coast-Fullerton) to the program Wednesday, June 3. Luft's addition to the offensive increases EMU's total to 34 fresh faces that are set to join the roster for the upcoming season.
"In Lucas we have found exactly what we were looking for," said Creighton. "He's a tough 6-foot-6, 250 pound tight end that can really stretch the field and catch. He was an excellent wide receiver in high school and has grown into a man who can do it all. Best of all, he is the kind of person we look for off the field. He is a great fit for Eastern Michigan football."
Luft, who is ranked as a three-star recruit by 247Sports, was selected First Team All-Southern California Football Association in 2018 for Fullerton College. Last year, he played in seven games and averaged 31.5 yards per reception. The Hornets finished the season ranked 21st in the California Community College Football Coaches Association. Luft played in four games and tallied three catches for 58 yards in 2018.
Eastern's highly anticipated class features 19 student-athletes rated as three-star prospects by the national recruiting services and two of the top-10 rated recruits in EMU Football history. Furthermore, 18 of the additions come from within a 270 mile radius of Ypsilanti.
Eastern Michigan is scheduled to open the 2020 season Saturday, Sept. 5, at the University of Kentucky. Season tickets can be purchased by calling the Eastern Athletics Ticket Office at 734.487.3669, by going online to EMUEagles.com and clicking on Tickets along the top menu bar or once normal operations resume visit the Ticket Office located inside the Convocation Center from 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Monday thru Friday.
Season tickets are the most cost-effective way to enjoy a fall event in Washtenaw County and this season there are a variety of options available. As the pandemic and global response continue to evolve, we remain committed to providing flexible options as it relates to Eastern Athletics tickets. If the 2020 EMU Football season were to be cancelled and you have already made a payment, you will have two options: a full refund or transferring the payment to the 2021 season.
