Lucas Scott was a jack-of-all-trades at Army. Changing positions three times as a Black Knight, he always adapted his skillset to suit the needs of his team.
Scott's new team just happens to have a fullback-friendly offense.
At West Point, Scott played defensive line as a freshman, tight end as a sophomore, right guard as a junior, and right tackle as a senior. Now, the undrafted rookie is trying his hand at fullback in a bid to make the Ravens' 53-man roster or practice squad.
A former fullback in high school, Scott hasn't just embraced the position change. He's welcomed it.
"It's fun getting back to the roots," Scott said.
Army recruited Scott to play defensive line. After transitioning to tight end the next year, Scott became a mainstay on the offensive line. In his final season in 2024, Scott was tabbed to the Football Writers of America Association All-America Second Team. It was the first time since 1990 that an Army player earned that recognition.
Going into the pre-draft process, Scott thought most teams were viewing him as a center. But he told the Ravens at the Hula Bowl in January that he loved watching All-Pro fullback Patrick Ricard and said he wouldn't mind following in his footsteps.
"It's kind of always been my dream position," Scott told the Ravens.
Then, the day before Scott's pro day, the Ravens made a unique request to Army Head Coach Jeff Monken, Offensive Coordinator Todd Monken's cousin.
"I didn't think they really took me seriously, and the day before the pro day, they were actually like, 'Hey, yeah, can we have him run some routes? We want to watch it on film.' I'm like, 'Oh, hell yeah. Let's do it,'" Scott said.
