It’s not exactly normal to have to conduct an in-home visit with a player already on your roster, but Indiana’s Tom Allen isn’t operating under normal circumstances anymore.
During this past offseason, much has been made of players receive NIL offers outside of their programs in order to transfer to another. Allen never needed to sit down to ask Lucas if he received such an offer.
... Because he already knew he had.
“I was born at night but not last night,” Allen said on Thursday at Big Ten Media Days.
Lucas is a special kind of player, nobody else in all of FBS had two kick return touchdowns this past season.
