Thomas Lucas Departing UConn Football Program

+

Thomas Lucas, who began the season as a starting wide receiver, will be leaving the UConn Football program. He informed head coach Bob Diaco of his decision after the St. Petersburg Bowl.

Lucas, who had a solid run after switching from defensive back, is the second receiver to transfer out of UConn this year. With four, or maybe even five, freshmen who the staff currently likes a lot, Lucas is looking elsewhere for more playing time. Fair enough.

Lucas had nothing but nice things to say about his UConn teammates and coaches, believing that "they'll do great for the next couple of years," per the article linked above by Matt Zampini of the Daily Campus.
