Early life

Lucas grew up in Everett, Washington and attended Archbishop Murphy High School, where he played basketball and was an offensive and defensive lineman on the football team.[1] Kyler Gordon from the Chicago Bears was also a high school teammate of Lucas. Lucas was rated a three-star recruit and committed to play college football at Washington State over offers from Oregon State and Wyoming.[2]

College career

Lucas redshirted his true freshman season at Washington State.[3] He was named the Cougars' starting right tackle going into his redshirt freshman season.[4] Lucas started all 13 of Washington State's games and was named second-team All-Pac-12 Conference and a freshman All-American by USA Today.[5] He started all of Washington State's games at right tackle as a redshirt sophomore and was again named second-team All-Pac-12.[6] Lucas started all four games of Washington State's COVID-19-shortened 2020 season and was named second-team All-Conference for a third straight season and was also named first-team All-Pac-12 by the Associated Press.[7] He considered entering the 2021 NFL draft, but opted to return to Washington State for a fifth season.[8] As a redshirt senior, Lucas started 12 games at right tackle and was named first-team All-Pac-12.[9]

Throughout the draft process, Lucas was deemed a top overall blocker, specifically in the passing game. He ran a 4.92 s 40-yard dash time, near the top of the offensive line draft class, and played over 2,195 pass-blocking snaps at Washington State University while earning an elite 91+ Pro Football Focus pass blocking grade.[10]
