Luke Barber
Recruit Profile
Two-way midfielder with exceptional skills and lacrosse IQ. Strong work ethic and coachable. Positive leader on and off the field. Honors Student with an unweighted 4.0 GPA.
I started playing lacrosse at the age of 5. I played for Toms River lacrosse club for 9 years, and in 8th grade I was chosen for the All Shore 8th grade team. Freshman year, I made the varsity team but our season was canceled so I began my varsity career as a sophomore. Only having 10 players on our team, I was the faceoff specialist and stayed on the field as a midfielder since we had no substitutes. I was the leading scorer on my team, averaging 4 points per game. Although my primary position is a midfielder, I was able to maintain 55% faceoff wins against seasoned upperclassmen, and raised my faceoff percentage my junior year when I transferred to a new school. Here, I continued to lead my team in scoring, setting the school record for goals in a season. I'm a tenacious defensive middie, averaging 2 FTOs per game.
In addition to lacrosse, I enjoy surfing and am a beach lifeguard.

Smart, tremendous attitude, exceptional work-ethic and talented are the first thoughts that come to mind when reflecting upon Luke Barber as a lacrosse player, student and person. Luke Barber personifies the qualities that every coach demands when building a team. Luke will perform any task instructed to perform with great ability and leadership. In all seriousness, I coached football and lacrosse for 27 years and 17 respectively; I have come across few student-athletes that share the character Luke Barker possesses. He is selfless, places the team above his needs and continuously searches for ways to improve his lacrosse ability in order to benefit the team. Luke will enhance the play of any program and improve, not only the culture of a lacrosse program, but the general college/university community at large. Luke is a winner at lacrosse, in any industry he enters and most importantly as a person. Please contact me if you would like to speak further.

Luke is an extremely hard worker whose passion and IQ for the game sets a positive example for his teammates. He is the first one in the door and one of the last ones out. Luke continuously looks for ways to improve his skills - whether that comes from individual training or giving maximum effort daily at practice. Although he is the best player in the program, Luke gets everyone involved and will always make the extra pass. Luke will be a massive addition to whatever team he joins in the future - academic, athletic, or work related.
