Luke Rhodes, Long Snapper

Colts long snapper Luke Rhodes has spent a decade in the NFL honoring and uplifting service members, veterans, and their families. Raised in a military household, Rhodes draws inspiration from his late father, Doug, a U.S. Naval Academy graduate and Marine Corps helicopter pilot who served for 22 years. Rhodes credits his father's service with instilling the discipline and responsibility that helped shape his professional football career.

Rhodes has actively used the Colts' ticket block program to invite active-duty service members, veterans, and their families to Lucas Oil Stadium, offering them memorable game day experiences in recognition of their sacrifices. He also champions causes like Children of Fallen Patriots through the NFL's My Cause My Cleats initiative.

Off the field, Rhodes has organized special field visits to personally thank military members, forging meaningful connections and showing his deep appreciation for their service.
