Cole Euker is a solid player on both sides of the ball. Had the pleasure of seeing him live in the Spring-Ford game last year. Strong, powerful and can move people. He mentions a play below I remember very well. He’s fun to watch for sure.
Head Coach Rob Heist says “He has started since he was a freshman. Cole was the PAC 2-Way Player of the Year in 2022. Cole is an excellent student keeping a strong 3.7 GPA. Cole is PV’s heavyweight on the wrestling team and throws shot put as a member of the track team as well. He’s very interested in playing football collegiately. Cole has a twin brother, Carter, on the team who is a very good player as well at his Inside Linebacker position. Cole and Carter are the youngest of 4 total Euker brothers that have played football for the Vikings.”
Why do you play football?
It is my passion ever since I was young and I couldn’t imagine life without it.
Who is your favorite sports star and WHY?
Bo jackson. Although he is not my position the fact that he played in two of the hardest professional sports there is at one time shows me whatever I think is hard is possible. When I am tired and don’t feel like doing something I imagine how Bo jackson could handle two professional sports.
Do you have a favorite play you remember the most? Explain:
My favorite play was in the Spring-Ford game. Third down and about 4 yards to go. We needed a stop. I bull rushed the center, shed the block and cause them to punt. My favorite play about the team was in the same game when our stud linebackers made the two point conversion stop not once, but two times in a row.
What was last years season like for you?
It was amazing. Our team was two points off from making history in our school and have couldn’t have asked for a better group of guys. Personally, I did pretty well but not good enough.
What are your goals for this coming season?
Most importantly, I want to make history where we fell short last year. But personally I want at least a 60 total tackle season. 10+ sacks, and not let up one sack.
Who is the best player you ever lined up against?
Jameial Lyons- Roman Catholic Highschool, Penn state commit
What stadium, HS/college/pro would you love to visit for a game?

What is your favorite Pro team, any sport?
Eagles
What game, yours, college or pro, was your favorite game you watched and why?
Eagles Super bowl because seeing a city very close to me make it to the super bowl just felt unreal.
What sports movie would you watch every day if you had to pick one and why?
