It is clear that Luke has been working this offseason. Since the Winter Showcase Luke has gotten bigger and more explosive and it resulted in a great day for him on Sunday. The sophomore is growing and filling out an impressive frame. He checked in at 6’4″ 240 lbs, and the DL/edge put on a show when we got to the 1 on 1 battles to end the day.

In those 1 on 1 battles Luke did an elite job playing with his hands. Every rep he utilized his length to maintain separation and constantly was working them to try and defeat blocks. Luke won reps in a variety of ways too. He showed that he could drive OL off the ball and back into the QB. We saw him win with a strong first step and effective pass rush moves. It was also impressive to see him counter when his initial move didn’t win him the rep. Luke always seemed to have a plan and his ability to execute separated him from the crowd. I’m very excited to watch this kid continue to grow and develop. He is just getting started.

Luke is in line to compete for a massive increase in varsity playing time on the DL. Grafton graduates a lot of talent at the position and the 6’4″ 225 lbs 2028 could be up next. In 2025 the sophomore spent time playing JV while also getting a taste of varsity action. Luke flashes a solid first step that has gotten him into the backfield quickly. It is great to see him playing with his hands and using that length of his to keep himself clean so he can be quicker to shed and make tackles. This offseason is the time for him to push himself to that next level. Become quicker, stronger and build upon his hand use technique. I’m excited for what is to come from the 2028.

We had a great representation of up and coming edge defenders. One of the members of that group was Luke Schubert Luke Schubert 6'4" | 240 lbs | EDGE/DL Grafton | 2028 State WI of Grafton. The 6’4″ 215 lbs athlete has a 6’4″ wingspan and elite 10 7/8″ hands. Luke came out after his team won a State Championship a week before, so the kid clearly loves to compete and learn. Luke is on the verge of taking that next leap in his production. He has length, plays with a solid first step, and can play with heavy hands and a strong initial punch to create separation. As he gets more and more experience with his hand fighting and pass rush moves he is going to be so much more impactful and dangerous. Keep an eye on this kid. The tools are coming together.
