Luke Ferguson brings Lamar a versatile, high-upside receiver with rare track speed
Luke Ferguson is a former Lamar freshman wideout who flashed versatility in the 2021 season, appearing in seven games and adding seven rushing yards on two carries with a touchdown against Central Arkansas. His biggest differentiators are athleticism and multi-sport explosiveness — he was a two-time Texas state champion in football and a silver medalist pole vaulter, which usually translates to burst, body control, and competitive edge. The upside is real if you want a fast, movement-friendly WR; the caution is that his college production sample is still small, so he profiles more as an upside play than a proven volume producer.
