About Luke

How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?

I’m a very physical and aggressive player who brings energy and intensity to every snap, but I also make sure to have fun while I play. I’m always looking for ways to improve and learn more about the game so I can keep growing as a player.

Can you provide a brief description of your mentality or personality?

On the field I play with intensity and focus, but off the field I’m easygoing and approachable. I take feedback seriously, work hard to improve every day, and bring a dedicated mentality to everything I do.

Are you involved in any clubs, organizations, or have you received any non-sport awards?

Youth Discipleship National Honor Society

What skills or qualities have you developed, such as leadership, teamwork, or community service?

Through sports, I’ve grown as a leader by setting an example of hard work and dedication, even when I’m not the most vocal. As a senior, I strive to make every teammate feel valued and recognized as an important part of our team’s success. Beyond the field, my involvement in youth discipleship and the National Honor Society has allowed me opportunities to serve the community.

Have you faced any significant challenges? If so, please describe.

I haven’t faced one major challenge in my life so far, but I have worked through smaller ones that helped me grow. Pushing through tough practices, balancing academics with athletics, and learning to lead as a senior have all taught me perseverance and responsibility. I know bigger challenges will come, and I feel prepared to face them with the mindset I’ve developed.

What type of college are you looking for?

I’m looking for a college that will challenge me both academically and athletically. I want a strong football program where I can continue to grow as a player, but also a supportive academic environment that prepares me for my future career. A school with a strong sense of community and coaches who value developing players on and off the field is really important to me.

Stat Line: 11 rushes, 116 rushing yards, three touchdowns

Yes, we have a fullback in South Dakota that rushed for three touchdowns and the stat line above, as we meet under the radar 2026 FB/LB out of powerhouse Elk Point-Jefferson in Luke Schmitz Luke Schmitz Luke Schmitz 6'3" | 225 lbs | RB/LB/LB Elk Point-Jefferson | 2026 SD . The 6’3 225 pounder (yes, you read that right) is as fluid as you want your fullback to be with the ball in his hands from start to finish. Once Luke hits the second level and sees open field you see a gear of burst amp up even more. He’s a sure fit at the D2 level at linebacker, as one of the late bloomers in this 2026 SD class.
