Coach’s comment: Lucas stepped up in 2025 to lead our defense in tackles. His quick lateral movement and natural reaction to play recognition made him one of the top linebackers in the conference. He helped lead our defense that ended the year with six shutouts. We are excited to see expect him have a breakout senior year.
