"Luter Jr. met with all 32 teams in person at the [Senior Bowl]," notes Melo.
Luter registered a career-high 42 tackles, 0.5 tackles for a loss, seven passes defensed, and an interception through 13 game appearances as a senior in 2022, per Sports Reference. He recorded 91 tackles, 2.5 tackles for a loss, 18 passes defensed, five interceptions, and a forced fumble through his three collegiate seasons.
Luter is from Hattiesburg, MS. He earned a pre-draft grade of 6 from NFL.com, which equates to an "above-average backup," per the site's 8-point grading scale.
At the NFL Scouting Combine, the 5' 11 3/4" and 189-pound Luter had a 40-time of 4.46 seconds, a vertical jump of 40.5 inches, a broad jump of 123 inches, a 6.9-second three-cone drill time, and a 20-yard shuttle time of 4.43 seconds. His other measurables include an arm length of 32 3/8 inches and hands measuring 10 3/8 inches.
Lance Zierlein of NFL.com, who compares Luter to Christian Benford, wrote the following within his scouting report:
Long-limbed press-cover cornerback with the ball skills and physicality to challenge receivers outside the numbers. Luter can be a little leggy in his transitions and burst to the football, but his length helps make up for that and creates pass breakups. Louisiana-Monroe attacked him with back-shoulder throws all game, which is something to keep an eye on in the pros. He's going to be more effective in press-and-shadow coverage than he is playing Cover 3 or off-man. His ball production dipped in 2022, but his length and playing style fit the NFL game.
