Seminoles head coach Mike Norvell announced the news on Monday morning that Lucas sustained the season-ending injury in FSU's 28-13 loss to Boston College and will not return to action this year.

"Really disappointed for the young man, very talented player, explosive athlete for us. But unfortunately, he has an injury that will keep him out for the rest of the season," Norvell said. "He does have a redshirt available, so he does have a couple of years eligibility left with that, but just our thoughts are with him as he's jumping into the rehab part of recovery with the injury."

Lucas transferred from Indiana and has been a threat on special teams while taking limited, yet productive reps offensively. He had 52 yards combined in receiving and rushing and was a return specialist for the Seminoles .

Norvell said that freshman Micahi Danzy has been moved up in the depth chart off of the scout team and he feels he is one of the many young running backs that could help the Seminoles following the loss of Lucas. Norvell mentioned Samuel Singelton and Kam Davis as the other players who could contribute more without Lucas.
"Micahi Danzy has moved up, and he's practicing with the offense. He's been on the scout team units," Norvell said. "Just getting him a couple more looks to see how he grows and progresses throughout the season, and if there could be opportunities there. I've definitely been very excited about what I've seen from him."
