University of Chicago Head Football Coach Chris Wilkerson announced on Thursday that Luke Cutkomp has been hired as Co-Defensive Coordinator and Linebackers Coach. Cutkomp will share the defensive coordinator duties with Bo Flowers, who was hired in March.

Cutkomp previously spent nine years at Aurora University, serving as defensive coordinator, defensive line coach and special teams coordinator in his tenure. He was a finalist for the Muscle Milk/Footballscoop.com Division III Coordinator of the Year in his first season as defensive coordinator in 2008. The Spartans ranked first in Division III in takeaways, interceptions and turnover margin, third in total defense and fourth in rush defense and opponent first downs allowed.

Under his direction as coordinator, Aurora's defense totaled 28 All-Conference selections, eight all-region players, four All-Americans and one NACC Defensive Player of the Year.

Cutkomp was a graduate assistant coach on the defensive line at Carroll University (Wis.) from 2003-04. He was also a student assistant coach at Wartburg College. Cutkomp played tight end for Wartburg and graduated with a bachelor's degree in elementary education in 2003. He later received his master's degree in education from Carroll (Wis.) in 2007.
