Lucas Burrell just earned a spot on the Kicking World Hot Prospect List as an OTC (on the cusp) level after an especially solid Punting outing at our National Showcase on Dec 4-5. Burrell finished #2 Overall on Day 1 Punts with the highest hang time average of all participants (4.52 seconds) on his 5 punts (4.40, 4.09, 4.75, 5.03, 4.33). He plays for powerhouse Mater Dei HS in Southern California which is currently ranked the #1 High School football program in the country as per MaxPreps.
Lucas has a prototypical collegiate punter build and should make for a solid pickup at the FBS or FCS level as a scholarship punter. He can sub in for kickoffs and possibly with some more improvement on consistency with his hang times could take on the kickoff duties too as he held his own both days of the Showcase in kickoffs. He’s played at the highest level of HS football punting for the #1 team in the country the last 2 seasons and has shown he can handle the pressure of the big game & camp environment.
