Will Lucas brings fresh-yardage upside to Colgate’s backfield
Will Lucas is a Colgate Raiders running back worth watching because Colgate’s 2026 offense has leaned on the ground game, and the roster/stats pages indicate the team has already generated 454 rushing yards through its early 2026 slate. Lucas’s value would come from fit and flash: a back who can help on a team that wants to stay balanced and keep chains moving, with enough burst and physicality to matter in Patriot League play. If you need a low-drama, role-ready runner with room to grow, he looks like a sensible bet.
