Coach Hopkins’ Take: “Luke is a steady versatile defender that can play as a left center back or left wing back. He is a leader by example and is dedicated to improving himself on and off the field daily. As another player from the Irvine Strikers organization, we know those players understand the work, discipline, and sacrifice it takes to be successful in college soccer.”
