Luter embraced the opportunity to compete at the 2023 Senior Bowl. For he and fellow South Alabama alum and current Buffalo Bills WR Jalen Wayne, the game was especially special as it took place in their home stadium in Mobile, AL, Hancock Whitney Stadium. "I was very surprised and thrilled and really excited to share the experience with my teammate Jalen Wayne," Luter said when asked about his invitation to participate. "It was an overwhelming moment for me to receive that invitation from Jim Nagy himself, he's somebody that I've known for a while. He's been showing me love from the very first moment I arrived at South Alabama."
