About Luke
Expert Analysis
Carey Smith | Prep Lacrosse Scout
Winters is a former Santa Margarita Catholic (Calif.) standout who transferred to Lawrenceville School and reclassified into the 2029 graduate year. During the 2026 season, this two-way midfielder scored 17 goals in just 15 games. The combination of his ground ball skills and speed allows Winters to create fast break chances for his team and then score or distribute on the run. In 6v6 action, Winters has demonstrated that he can initiate from up top or the wing, separate from his defender and then fire a shot into the net. Off-ball, Winters catches opponents by surprise with his high IQ cuts, dives and drifts that produce clean looks. On the defensive end, Winters’ smooth lateral movements, aggressive stick work and physicality make him an absolute ball hawk. When the ball carrier presents an opening, Winters will unleash a powerful stick or shoulder check that puts the ball on the ground. Winters is also a master at delivering a crowbar that puts the ball on the turf. The Lawrenceville staff will love that Winters is a plus player in the clearing game, too.
