It didn’t take Southern Union men’s soccer coach Taylor Jones long to see the abilities of Providence Christian senior standout Luke Fripp and realize he wanted the Eagle player on
“I saw Luke’s film pretty early on and I was immediately impressed by what I saw, so I contacted him and had a good conversation with him, trying to find out what he was looking to do in college, and thought we would be a good fit right off the bat,” Jones said.

I love the coaches, love the facilities and everything about it, so I knew it was the right fit.” In fact, while Fripp has shown to be a dynamic scorer, his desire to get his teammates involve and wanting the team to succeed was among the top traits that stood out to Jones.
While known for his scoring success, Fripp, a two-time Eagle captain, also felt distributing the ball to teammates was among his best abilities in soccer. “Obviously, I am extremely proud,” Fripp said. “As a coach, that is my goal. I want these kids to have talent that play for us to be able to go on and one and play more. We had the one a couple years ago for Catie Caputo going to Oglethorpe . That is my desire, only if they want to make that next step because it is hard work. Today is just an accumulation of all that hard work together as a team and for Luke.
Fripp, who will join several Dothan Shocker club teammates at Southern Union, including Dale County’s Bill Awoh and former Charles Henderson player and current Pike Road player Deacon Keck, said he was excited about being part of the building of a new program.
