Track-Powered WR Latulas: Louisiana Tech’s Speedy Sophomore with Explosive Leap
Dedrick Latulas, a 5’7”, 165-lb sophomore WR for Louisiana Tech, differentiates himself with elite track-and-field explosiveness—placing second in the 2022 Louisiana 4A triple jump (46’10.25”)—which fuels his quick acceleration and leaping ability despite his smaller frame. In the 2024 season, he appeared in 4 games with 7 receptions for 36 yards (5.1 avg) and 1 rushing TD; by 2025, he expanded his role, appearing in all 13 games (2 starts), catching 4 passes for 55 yards, including 2 vs. UTEP. Active, intense, and versatile (also competes in track), Latulas offers high-upside depth for teams needing a speedy, agile slot receiver with proven big-jump mechanics. No reported injury history; his track background signals exceptional lower-body power and durability.
