A defensive lineman, Lucas represents the only Knight selected for the honor.
Lucas earned 2017 All-Scholastic honors from both The Boston Globe and The Boston Herald at the end of last season. He dominated opposing guards and tackles, terrifying quarterbacks to the beat of 12.5 sacks and 19 tackles for loss. The Catholic Conference named him 2017 Defensive Lineman of the Year.
Lucas’ latest honor keeps Knights football in the spotlight after an August full of headlines.
Last month, The Boston Herald selected Lucas and four other Knights for its 13th annual preseason football All-Star team.
Senior cornerbacks Khari Johnson and Hunter Tully joined Lucas with first-team All-Defense honors. Hunter, a returning 2017 All-Scholastic, and Khari plan to expand their roles at wide receiver this year too.
Senior offensive lineman Hunter Salmon earned second-team All-Offense while sophomore linebacker Owen McGowan earned second-team All-Defense. CM selected Owen as its Breakout Candidate for Football in its 2018 Fall Sports Digest.
CM begins the season ranked number six in The Boston Herald's Sweet 16 MIAA football list.
The Knights begin their season on Saturday night against Saint John’s High School (Shrewsbury) at Assumption College. Game time starts at 7 PM.
