He shows excellent instincts as he takes the correct angle in pursuit and exhibits quality explosiveness as he delivers a powerful hit preventing a gain of significant yardage. Against the pass, he does a great job of reading the QB while patrolling his zone. He displays good closing speed in pursuit before making a big hit forcing a fumble. Very good competitive toughness enables him to elevate his play near the goal line.

Against the pass, he does a good job of reading the QB while showing good awareness in zone. He shows great ball skills as he locates the ball and displays very good hands as he makes the interception. Against the run, he shows good use of hands as he disengages from the WR. He exhibits very good range and play speed as he chases down the RB from behind and prevents a potential touchdown.
In 2022, Luka played a big role in the 13-win season of the Lakota West Firebirds where they averaged 35.2 points per game and advanced to the 4th round of the playoffs. He lines up inline as a Y TE. He is an outstanding run blocker who effectively uses his very good combination of athleticism and play strength to easily overpower LB at the point of attack.

Highlights
In 2022, Raphael’s outstanding play helped the Winton Woods Warriors win 12 games, average 39.9 points per game and advance to the 3rd round of the playoffs. He lines up at RT. When run blocking, he quickly gets to the 2nd level before using his good play strength and physical toughness to seal off the LB providing a lane for the RB to run through and pick up significant yardage. While in pass pro, he shows good quickness to reset and mirror the EDGE. He uses his good use of hands and play strength to negate the progress of the EDGE at the LOS giving the QB a clean pocket to operate from.
