Q&A: Apple Valley WR Luke Martens Talks Recruiting, Gophers and More

Luke Martens, a 6-foot-4, 188-pound wide receiver, is one of the top pass catchers in the Class of 2018. He had hoped to attend Minnesota's Junior Day this weekend, but his other duties take priority as a member of the third seed Eagles, who are hoping to win their third Class AAAA title in the past five years.

Martens helped lead the Eagles to a 7-4 record in football, losing to Owatonna in the Class AAAAA quarterfinals 28-24.

Martens had several big games this past season, including seven catches for 115 yards and one touchdown versus Forest Lake, five catches for 109 yards against Farmington and 11 receptions for 160 yards and five scores versus Eastview.
