Luke Shields

Induction:
2020

Shields burst onto the scene as a freshman during the 2004-05 season, earning All-America accolades in both singles and doubles, just the second tennis player in school history to earn All-America status in singles (Guillaume Bouvier). At the conclusion of the season he was named Western Athletic Conference Freshman of the Year. Shields would go on to lead the Broncos to four-straight trips to the NCAA Tournament, and three-straight WAC Championships from 2005-07. He competed at the NCAA Championships individually in each of his four seasons, three times in singles from 2005-07 and in doubles in each of his four seasons. He picked up a third All-America honor in singles in 2007, becoming the first three-time All-American in men's tennis in school history, and the first to earn multiple such accolades in singles. Shields, the 2007 WAC Men's Tennis Player of the Year and an All-WAC First Team honoree in both singles and doubles in each of his four seasons, left Boise State as the all-time leader in singles victories (118) and doubles victories (106). He was a four-time WAC All-Academic selection, and received the USTA Sportsmanship Award in 2007.
