For a freshman one could say Luke Stevens over achieved. 24 solo tackles, 16 assisted and an interception. Luke doesn’t think so. He also has a much loftier goal this year, 100 tackles. Forced into starting MLB freshman due to injury, “Luke stepped into the role tremendously” said head coach Tom Smith. “Look for him to contribute on both sides of the ball this season”.
