Taylor Lucas was named Offensive Line Coach for the Saint Anselm College football program in April 2018. He assumed the role of Recruiting Coordinator prior to the 2019 season and enters his fourth season with the Hawks in 2021.
With his assistance in 2019, the Hawks recorded their first three-game winning streak in five seasons and had a single-season record 12 student-athletes earn Northeast-10 All-Conference honors. The Hawks played an arduous schedule in 2019, including three non-conference games - all Hawks opponents on the season combined to win 52 games, the strongest win total of any NE10 program's opponents. Lucas also coached two NE10 All-Conference selections, Alex Casey and Brian Kosicki.
Lucas, a native of Brookfield, Wisc., joins the Hawks from Carroll University where he assisted the offensive coordinator and the offensive line coach since March 2016. He also provided assistance to the tight ends, fullbacks and special teams units while managing multiple recruiting territories, including in the Midwest.
Prior to his position at Carroll, Lucas also assisted the football program at his alma mater, the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point. As a recruiting assistant, Lucas was a critical point of contact for prospective student-athletes and planned campus visits and conducted facility tours.
As an undergraduate, Lucas also assisted the Pointers with their game day operations program. He was a liaison to several Division III championship events, including the 2014 and 2015 First and Second Rounds of the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament. He also assisted during the NCAA Division III Women’s Basketball Final Four in 2014.
Lucas, a three-time CoSIDA Academic All-District and a two-time Academic All-America selection, was the Academic Coordinator for the football program at Carroll. He oversaw and coordinated all aspects of the academic program as his student-athletes produced a 3.0+ grade-point average in two consecutive semesters for the first time in 30 years.
A four-year starting offensive lineman for the Pointers from 2012-15, Lucas was a key part of the 2014 squad that was nationally-ranked and racked up seven wins in 10 games. The offensive line allowed the UW-Stevens Point rushing game to average 114.8 yards per game and the 14 rushing touchdowns by the Pointers was the third-most in the conference.
Lucas, a team captain for the Pointers as a senior, graduated from UW-Stevens Point in 2015 with a degree in Business Administration with a minor in Political Science. He received an MBA from Carroll in 2018.
