Chase Lucas doesn’t lack confidence. In his first season, the redshirt-freshman has injected some swag into Arizona State’s developing defense. As a cornerback, that’s part of the job, but mostly, it’s just who Lucas is.
But the Chandler High product also isn’t afraid to give credit where it's due. And with the Sun Devils visiting UCLA on Saturday, Lucas credits his mom for making one of the biggest decisions of his life.
In the spring of his junior year, Lucas had wanted to commit to the Bruins. In fact, Valerie Lucas pretty much stopped the words from coming out of his mouth.
