 Shortly after accepting his role as Head Football Coach and Co-Director of Student Life at Bishop O’Connell, Kenneth Lucas was offered a coaching position with the Pittsburgh Steelers as part of the NFL’s Bill Walsh Coaching Fellowship Program. He spent time with the Steelers during the summer of 2019 where he experienced the NFL first-hand.  He appreciates and cherishes his time there as a valuable learning experience.

Lucas earned his Bachelor of Science Degree in 1988 from the University of Delaware, where he was a three-year letterman for the Blue Hens and was named an Associated Press All-American 1986-1987. Lucas also received multiple in-season and post-season accolades such as Rookie of the Week, Defensive Player of the Week (several times) all-conference defensive back, and Division I-AA All-American in 1986, to name a few. While at Delaware, Lucas was also a member of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes and Athletes for Outreach.  He also volunteered regularly with Special Olympics.

From 1995-96, Coach Lucas was the Head football coach at Archbishop Carroll High School. In addition to his coaching duties, he also served as the school's Director of Alumni Affairs and Coordinator of Development. Lucas had previously served as an assistant coach at Carroll from June 1989 until November 1990.
