How’d he get to The Blue™?
Literally going to lift this straight from Riley’s post last year:
Luke was a 2 Star ATH in high school, playing both tight end and linebacker. He was the number 415 recruit in California, and the number 323 ATH in the country. He walked on with the Broncos in 2021, and has worked hard to see game time, earning snaps in 13 games last season.
Nickname
“Jason”
Truly a missed opportunity from the get go.
Look-alike

Career Highlights
Mr. Voorhees mostly has ‘games played’ under his belt. He did catch a 2 point conversion back in 2023 against New Mexico. I will say, most of his accolades are for his smartness, being recognized by the National Football Foundation Hampshire Honor Society and being a 3x Mountain West Scholar-Athlete (amongst some other notable academic honors.
2025 Prospectus
Being straight to the point: most likely more of he same. Matt Lauter is still on the roster and that’s a big deal. Mr. Voorhees is going to be a great blocker and provide support on special teams, and that’s a good day’s work. Not everyone can claim to be on a CFB playoff team and Voorhees is one of those. So root for Voorhees to be consistent and an overall smart guy.
Is he on Twi/X?
Yeah. And you can see it here but he’s not overly active there.
Completely made up fact
A completely TRUE fact is that koala’s have fingerprints. I heard tell that Voorhees plans a heist (stealing the Declaration of Independence, natch) and is going to use koala fingerprints to throw off the authorities. Maybe it will work?
Maybe one of the reasons Lauter is so good is because of the competition behind him; guys like Vorhees.
