Ruckert To Represent Lindy In 2018 US Army All-American Bowl

Lindenhurst's Jeremy Ruckert is the No. 1 high school tight end in the country. Yes, the country. Big things ahead for Jeremy.

Lindenhurst High School senior Jeremy Ruckert was recently visited by Joe Bouffard, the northeast director of All American Games, who distributed an official offer to him to participate in the 2018 US Army All-American Bowl.

This is the premier high school all-star football game played in San Antonio, Texas. Jeremy, who has committed to Ohio State, is the only student representing Long Island in the game and was selected because of his strong character and status as the No. 1 tight end in the country.

The district said it's very proud of Jeremy and his athletic accomplishments and looks forward to watching as he represents the district in January.
