Luke Murphy is the fourth brother in his family and the third to come through the program at Medfield (Mass.) High School on his way to Division 1 college lacrosse.

Will, the oldest, played at Holy Cross after transferring from Skidmore, playing well enough as a defender/LSM to get named a captain as a senior in 2019.

Owen and Luke went the other way, developing their craft as offensive players. Owen entered Johns Hopkins last year as the No. 12-rated attackman in his class by Inside Lacrosse, after honing his game for two years at Avon Old Farms.
