Abraham "Abe" Lucas (born October 25, 1998) is an American football offensive tackle for the Seattle Seahawks of the National Football League (NFL). He played college football at Washington State.

Early years

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]

Professional career

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]
