10/16/20 - QB Bryson Lucero, rSr/2024, Alabama-Birmingham

IMG Academy has fielded a football team since 2013 and Bryson Lucero is the only quarterback to spend his entire career as an Ascender. However, Lucero started only four games during his entire high school career -- all within his senior season -- as he sat behind former Ole Miss and Michigan signal-caller Shea Patterson and current Texas A&M quarterback Kellen Mond. Despite a concise prep career and forgoing Ivy League offers to Harvard and Yale, Lucero signed with UAB's 2019 signing class and now has two starts under his belt after assuming command of the offense following an injury to Tyler Johnston III that left the incumbent indefinitely sidelined. "I see it as an incredible opportunity," Lucero said. "A lot of people will see that I only started four games in high school, and two now. I got a lot of things to work on, and with experience and everything, I totally understand the challenge."

A microdose of a career that included 823 passing yards and 13 touchdowns did not invite a slew of recruiters to the IMG Academy campus in Bradenton, Florida and a trip to Birmingham was all Lucero needed in making the decision to sign with Bill Clark and the Blazers. "When I came down to UAB, it just felt like a really good fit for me," Lucero said. "Coach Clark, Coach (Bryant) Vincent, and really the whole staff, and knowing what direction Coach Clark was taking the program was something that I really enjoyed and something I was looking forward to being a part of." - Birmingham Post Herald
