Volkart arranges for Mount Marty University for College Football

Brook's Volkart became another student athlete who signed a college program.

The football, basketball and track star signed on Thursday afternoon to play football with Mount Marty University in Yankton, South Dakota.

Volkart grew up in a family of football players and is younger than two brothers who played college football. Caleb Volkart played for the Central Methodist University and Walker Volkart for the Kansas Wesleyan University and on Thursday made a full moment for the 5-foot 8-inch running.

“It was pretty exciting for me because my two brothers had to play College football. Only to follow in their tracks is really exciting for our family. I had the feeling that we were always on the road to play Caleb or Walker on the college or just to look on Friday evening and look the games from the edge.” I think it was the first game of my second year when I had played for me. was to be a running back. I got a big run of over 40 meters against Versailles. Although a child had put me down, I knew it was the position for me. “

During his career, Volkart became one of the most popular players among teammates, trainers and fans.

He helped the Pintos to win their first district football game for seven years during his first season in 2021. His best season was in 2023 when he helped the Pintos to reach the district championship game against Odessa. Volkart had career height in overall courtyards, rushing yards, touchdowns and set up a school record for interceptions in one season with nine this year.

In his four -year career at Pintos Football, Volkart collected 2,700 yards offensive, 28 touchdowns, 86 duels, 10 interceptions, four blocked extra points, two blocked field gates and two forced fumbles. He was named three times and three times, three times, three times, three times, the first team All District (Running Back) three times and second team all-state (defensive back) three times the first team All-Conference (Defense Back), the first team All-Conference (Running Back). Volkart has also won several all-conference and all-outcricts in basketball and athletics.

Volkart admitted that he never paid much attention to the milestones and records he reached during his career. He wanted to be a player who always stayed at the moment when he was on the field, and he gave his two head coaches Seth Womack and Kenny Grubb special recognition to help him be in this opinion.

“At the moment I just thought I was playing football. I didn't think much about how far we got as a team. But after everything was ready, I was able to step back and see how great my junior year was,” said Volkart. “Coach Womack was a guy who liked to play quickly. With him, our goal was to achieve 100 games per game. When coach Grubb came in, he really slowed it down and we fell a game on about 60 games. But it was really cool to see both sides and how every trainer approached the game.

When it was time to decide where to take his football game for college, Volkart went with a program that is known from a few outside of his family – Mount Marty University in Yancton, South Dakota. The head coach of Lancers, John Michaletti, trained Brooks' brother Walker in Kansas Wesleyan. Walker sent a film from Brooks to Mount Marty's coaching team, who soon became interested in running and defensive. After visiting the Mount Marty campus and the meeting with Michaletti's employees, he decided to take the opportunity to use him. Volkart said the Lancers were a new program compared to the remains of the teams in their conference, but they seem to go in the right direction after 6: 5. Volkart hopes to grow and expand his football game with the Lancers while he is under the guidance of an experienced trainer like Michaletti.

Although he will play football states outside of his hometown in autumn, Volkart said that he was deeply obliged to give him the support that he had to continue – what he wants to build on while going to the next level of his football trip.

“I would only like to thank everyone who supported me. When I grew up in a community that is very passionate about football and in my life with great football players, it was a great help for me. Sometimes I always needed a little help and everyone was there to push through when I needed,” said Volkart. “When I tore my Labrum as a junior, everyone let me know that I would make it and that on the other hand there were better things. I will remember that of this community.”
