University at Albany wide receiver Luke McAuliffe, a Shenendehowa High School graduate, is making an immediate impact for the Great Danes. Transferring from Monmouth University last winter after struggling to play time, McAuliffe has appeared in three games for UAlbany so far. Standing at 6-foot-3 and weighing 207 pounds, he has caught five passes for 41 yards this season.
His first college reception was a 12-yard pass on the opening drive of a September 3 game against the University at Buffalo. McAuliffe praised his coaches Tom Perkovich and Dylan August for giving him an opportunity and working with him effectively. He also credited former UAlbany wide receivers coach Kevin Callahan Jr., his father, for helping him grow during his time at Monmouth.
McAuliffe is now focused on playing well in his upcoming game against his former school, Monmouth, on Saturday.
