Indian River 2020 DE Lincorey Lucas has given an early commitment to the #Liberty Flames, per Braves Head Coach Glenwood Ferebee

Lincorey's Hudl profile has him at 230, which makes more sense if we are going to play him at DE.

Great to snag another defender from the 757. He could be a DE/LB hybrid for us. Give another element of speed and athleticism on the edge (I forget who said something about the average weight/muscle gain a player can make from year to year but i think the number was 20 pounds or something)

We have been able to verify Lucas' commitment

I love that we are making an impact in the 757. Its not what it once was but still is one of the top 10 hubs of talent.

his coach is a former LU player. That could have helped!

20 lbs/yr is considered to be the maximum amount of muscle mass most athletes can gain safely and without pharmaceutical assistance. I'm pretty sure the biggest gain over a career at Liberty was Francis Bah, who started out as a 215 pound tailback and ended up as a 295 pound DT in his 4th and 5th years.

Yep! 20/yr is considered the natural limit.

250# is probably where a body like his will target as a rush end. Probably looking for 15# of growth the first two years to get close. These are the kinds of players that redshirting can really benefit. A 230# R-Fr rush end is better than a 215# Fr rush end.

215 would be better suited for an outside linebacker i think. I reckon coach Ferebee and his staff will get him built up, but I reckon he will be hitting the training table if he's being recruited as a defensive end

FWIW Jayod Sanders played at 210 for the last 2 years pretty effectively spelling Juwan Wells.

Fwiw nothing our defense didn't do anything effectively the past two years. And we are talking about a backup. The starter weighed in at 260

247 updated him to a 2*
