Junior Jack Lefevre is entering his second football season at Law and is looking to improve from sophomore year.
Lefevre transferred to Law from Platt Tech after his freshmen year. He set some goals for himself and his team coming into this season.
“I want to bring Law football to the playoffs and make the Honor Roll,” Lefevre said.
Lefevre plays on the offensive line as a right guard. Going into the offseason, he worked on his physical strength and endurance to make sure he can make an impact from day one.
“I wanted to make sure that I get in the weight room everyday to get stronger, and that I’m conditioned so I can have the endurance when it matters,” Lefevre said.
Lefevre has proven to be a leader to the incoming freshmen.
“Jack knows when to focus and pay attention when the time comes,” freshmen Connor Ryan said. “He’s made the adjustment to high school a lot easier for me, being an upperclassman he does a good job at welcoming the incoming players to make them a part of the community.”
By being an upperclassman, Lefevre has the responsibility of being a leader on the team. He can help his teammates in-game and in practice, no matter the state of the game.
“Jack does an excellent job at helping his teammates on the O-line,” freshmen Dylan Gillard said. “I hear him at practice all the time, yelling out tips to the linemen, and getting on people if they need it.”
Lefevre has worked hard for a very long time to reach his goals. He started at a very young age to have a chance to play at the collegiate level.
“My love for football started at a very young age when my dad took me to my first football game,” Lefevre said. “I used this as inspiration to get to college, as I hope that in the future I can get a walk-on spot for long snapping, or offered as a lineman.”
Levefre’s work ethic can be seen by many members on the team.
“Ever since I got close to Jack in middle school, he’s been one of the most hard-working people I know,” junior Roman Belbita said. “His knowledge of the game is what makes him stand out and on top of all that he’s a really good teammate.”
Lefevre’s determination also inspires members of the team to improve themselves.
“When you got a guy like that out there on the field, you see how his leadership and aggression is shown both on and off the field,” junior Brian Gonzalez said. “Hitting people until there helmet pops off and letting our team know when to wake up is what our team needs.”
Lefevre and the Lawmen are looking to make a statement in the coming weeks. They enter a long stretch of away games, after coming off of a huge upset against Notre Dame and a win against RHAM.
