Luke Mullinger

I am a hardworking, team-first player who takes pride in being a leader both by example and vocally. I bring energy and intensity every day and I am always pushing myself and my teammates to raise the standard. I believe leadership is not just about talking—it is about backing it up with consistent effort, toughness, and accountability. Academically, I have challenged myself with tough classes and currently hold a 3.7 GPA while earning Centerville’s Student Athlete Award and National Honors Society recognition. I hold myself to a high standard in the classroom and represent my school and team the right way. On the field, I have been a Varsity captain and helped lead my team to two conference championships and a regional title. I am known as a tough-nosed, competitive player who is willing to do the little things that help my team win. My coaches and teammates would describe me as a “glue guy”—someone who brings people together, keeps the energy up, and leads with passion. My work ethic is one of my biggest strengths. I played three sports since second grade, earning Varsity letters in two sports in high school. I love the process—the offseason training, where I gained 25 pounds in muscle last offseason, the film work, and the grind of practice. I am determined to keep improving and be the kind of player and teammate that makes everyone around me better.
