Lucas, how did your sophomore season go?
My sophomore season went great. I had 7 touchdowns, and I kicked and punted. Our team went 7-2.
What do your off-season workouts look like?
My off season I train with Coach Cano-the best strength coach you can have. We focus on speed and strength as well as recovery and how to properly treat our bodies. He is also getting me ready for the season.
What are you working on to improve this off-season?
I am working on filling into my frame and getting stronger and faster to become even better. I'm also working to become a better leader.
As a WR, do you have a favorite route to run or a favorite play to make?
I love running a post curl route or a post.
What techniques do you focus on to create separation from defenders?
I focus on creating separation by getting a great first step and beating him inside or outside on my release and go full speed on my cuts.
Do you see yourself as more of a deep threat, route technician, possession receiver—or all three?
I see myself as a deep threat and as well as possessive catching.
What’s been your favorite memory in football so far, and what made it special?
My favorite memory is when I came back my freshman year halfway into the season after breaking my wrist and scoring 5 touchdowns, having a 9-0 record, and winning the CCL Blue.
You’re a dual-sport athlete that plays baseball as well. What position do you play in baseball?
I play center field.
How do you manage two sports and your academic load?
I manage both sports and academics by writing in my notes what homework I have to do and what schedule is that week for sports and try to get all my homework done in school.
How has the school year been going academically?
The school year has been going great academically with a solid gpa. I'm working on 3.5 and have made the B Honor Roll two years in a row.
What is one thing you want college coaches to know about you?
One thing I want college coaches to know about me is that I am very coachable and will give my best no matter waht and will always show out, make plays, and be a leader.
What can we expect from the Crusaders this fall?
You can expect one of the best teams you can find in Illinois.
If there’s one person on your team that you would say is going to have a breakout season this fall, who would it be?
Jovan Green (C/O 26, WR).
Who is the best player you've ever played against?
The best player I have played against is Tavares Harrington.
