Luke Lair is a long, rangy Appalachian State DB with upside—but still waiting for his first college snaps
In the 2026 season, Luke Lair is listed as a 6-foot-2, 190-pound defensive back for Appalachian State, but he has not appeared in a game in either 2024 or 2025, so the evaluation is mostly about traits and projection right now. He brings size, a strong academic/work ethic profile, and a versatile background that includes track and field, plus he posted 25 tackles as a senior at Wakefield. The fit is intriguing for a staff that likes length in the secondary, but he remains more developmental prospect than proven producer.
