Luke Warrington
Duke University ‘28
#6 / Midfielder
From Indiana to the ACC
Luke Warrington’s story is a perfect example of how discipline, toughness, and consistency can put a player on a national stage — no matter where they start.
Hailing from Carmel, Indiana, Luke sharpened his game at Culver Academies, one of the most elite prep lacrosse programs in North America. At Culver, he developed into a two-way force: a gritty short-stick defensive midfielder (SSDM) who could also push transition and contribute on the offensive end. His play was defined by energy, toughness, and unselfishness — qualities that earned him respect at every level.
Luke rose into the Top 50 national rankings and committed to Duke University, one of the premier programs in college lacrosse. With a relentless motor and high IQ, he brings ACC-level intensity to every rep and understands what it takes to thrive in a high-performance environment.
