His sister Josie, currently plays on the North Georgia women's basketball team, while his brother and father both played football at Emory and Henry College and Wake Forest, respectively.
"Luke Earnhardt will be a great fit for our program and pitching staff," Middle Tennessee head coach Jerry Meyers said. "He adds to our left-handed balance and has shown advanced pitchability. He commands his pitches well and will continue to develop his ability to attack hitters in multiple ways.
As Luke gains strength and experience, he projects to be able to change speeds well and keep hitters off balance. We are excited to watch his growth as he works to establish himself in the future of Blue Raider Baseball."
