Luke Carlson

As he heads into his freshman football season at Coupeville High School, two-way lineman Luke Carlson is sure of one thing.

He brings a complete and total commitment to every play, every game.

“I think my main strength is that I will never quit,” he said. “I will keep trying.”

Carlson, who played left guard on the offensive line and defensive tackle the last two years as a middle school player, continues to work at improving his game.

“I enjoy being part of a team and being physically active,” he said. “Something I would like to work on is my ability to hold a block for longer.”

A two-sport athlete (he also competes in track, throwing the shot put and discus), Carlson enjoys “working with my hands and sailing.”

He credits CMS football coach Bob Martin with being a big influence on him, both on and off the field.

“Football definitely has helped me be the person that I am now, but if I had to pick a person, I’d have to say Coach Bob,” Carlson said.

His goals for his first season at the high school level are simple, yet straight forward.

“I would really like to be first string JV,” Carlson said. “And, of course, win some games.”
