Texas Tech Football is known for tough offensive players–especially at the quarterback position. For Luke Gonsioroski of Billings, Montana (Baker H.S.), who was planning on walking on at Texas Tech in the Spring, the dream of putting on a Red Raider uniform on Game Day will never come true, but his toughness will certainly inspire.

According to 406MTSports.com, last spring, Gonsioroski underwent chemotherapy, and was thought to be in remission thereafter.

In June 2016, the 4.0 student-athlete had an eight-pound tumor removed from his chest in New Haven, C.T. at the Yale Cancer Center. According to the article, the mass was the size of two footballs.
