PARK RECORD FILE PHOTO Park City senior quarterback Jack Skidmore takes the snap in the Miners’ Class 4A state semifinal game against No. 5 Pine View last November. Skidmore, who finished the game with 296 total yards and four touchdowns in Park City’s 48-21 victory, will be playing football for BYU as a preferred walk-on after he returns from his LDS mission in two years. Continued from B-1 Mission over football cision every day. I didn’t know what I wanted because every option felt good, but I felt like there was something missing.” The something weird happened, something that Skidmore can’t really explain except by having faith. Following a conversation with his Young Men’s leader regarding his future, Skidmore came to the conclusion that what was missing from his life was purpose. “After doing all my research on all the schools and nothing felt right, I had this overwhelming feeling to serve this mission,” Skidmore said. “I couldn’t delay it any longer. … My spirit was telling me I needed this and that’s why I couldn’t pick a college.” Everything seems to be working out in the end, as Skidmore will attend BYU following the completion of his mission in October of 2022. He will also be suiting up for the Cougars on the football field as the coaches have offered him a preferred walk-on spot for the team, set to begin in January of 2023 when he enrolls. Skidmore believes that everything he’s been through the past year as led him to exactly where he’s supposed to be. To him, life is one big lesson about finding your purpose and happiness and more often than not, people don’t appreciate that journey until they can look back on it and reflect — and he can’t wait for when that day comes. “I truly believe that God has a plan and for whatever reason, my included breaking my arm, getting a concussion and not going to Stanford or Navy. … I’ve been through this for a reason so that when someone else may be going through the same thing one day, maybe I can help be a guiding voice.” Skidmore said. “I think a big truth in life is that I’ve never been happier than doing what I’ve been taught and what I know to be true. … When you have faith in God, there is a bigger plan and I’m just lucky that I’m able to be a part of it.” Chat live with employers from 9-noon Tuesday, 6/16 and 1-4 Wednesday, 6/17!
