PHOENIX – Marine Corps Recruiting Station Phoenix is excited to announce the selection of Semper Fidelis All-American, Brian Lewerke, quarterback for Pinnacle High School. Arizona Marines will recognize Lewerke with a jersey presentation at Pinnacle H.S. before his team’s homecoming matchup versus O’Connor H.S., Oct. 10, 2014.
The presentation will be conducted at 6:40 p.m. just before kickoff. The Semper Fidelis Football Program is unique because it brings together the nation’s best and brightest high school football players from across the country, who demonstrate success both on and off the gridiron.
“We’re excited to give these players the spotlight,” said Lt. Col. Raphael Hernandez, assistant chief of staff for advertising, Marine Corps Recruiting Command. “In addition to being talented football players, these men are high academic performers and leaders in their communities, the type of individuals we want to recognize.”
Semper Fidelis All-Americans are selected for being among the top-rated high school football players in the nation; however, the selection process is also dedicated to choosing players based on their character, academic performance and leadership. The Semper Fidelis Football Program demonstrates the Marine Corps’ commitment to developing quality citizens and reinforces its core values of honor, courage and commitment.
The quality that Lewerke most prides in himself is his character, which he attributes to his parents, and his family’s strong Christian faith. Lewerke has verbally committed to continue his football career at Michigan State.
Regarding his selection as a Semper Fidelis All-American, Lewerke said he is most excited about the opportunity to be able to display what Pinnacle H.S. and his parents have taught him on and off the field.
