The 6’6, 200 pound specialist from St. Charles, Ill. is ranked as the No. 1 punter in class of 2026 by Chris Sailer Kicking. He’s also ranked as the No. 27 kicker by Sailer.
Sailer’s scouting report of Tenbrock is strong.
Lucas is a big time high school punting and kicking prospect. He is big, tall, strong and athletic. He has an ideal frame for a college level punter. Lucas hits a big time D-I punt. Don’t wait on him, Lucas is a special punting talent. Also an excellent kicker. Lucas does a great job on field goal. He hits a pure, accurate ball off the ground and easily has 55+ yard range. His kickoffs are strong, D-I ready. Lucas drives the ball deep into the endzone with 4.0+ hang time. I look forward to seeing what the future holds.
