Luke Altmyer completed his second season as Illinois’ quarterback in 2024.
The 6-foot-2, 205-pound senior started all 13 games and led Illinois to a 10-3 record in 2024, tying the program's single-season wins record.
He completed 386-of-617 passing attempts for 4,600 yards, 35 touchdowns and 16 interceptions, while rushing for 499 yards and seven touchdowns on 193 attempts for the Fighting Illini from 2023-24. Altmyer also recorded one reception for three yards in 2024.
According to Illinois, Altmyer leads the nation in career game-winning drives in the final minute and in overtime with five.
In his final season at Ole Miss in 2022 under head coach Lane Kiffin, he appeared in four games, including one start, earning a redshirt. Charlie Weis Jr. and John David Baker were co-offensive coordinators at Ole Miss in 2022.
Altmyer played in five games for the Rebels in 2021 with Mississippi State head coach Jeff Lebby serving as his offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach. Lebby was Josh Heupel’s offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach at UCF in 2019, while overseeing signal-callers in 2018 with the Knights.
Altmyer committed to Ole Miss over Florida State, LSU, Mississippi State and Oregon. He is from Starkville High School in Starkville, Mississippi. His father, Chad Altmyer, has been the team orthopedic surgeon for Mississippi State and completed his general surgery internship at the University of Tennessee College of Medicine in Memphis, Tennessee.
