Athlete of the Week: Nick Lucien

By: Katharine Getz ‘21

While Nick Lucien may be joining the Wyoming Seminary football team for only one season, he is undoubtedly making a difference for the team. In the team’s homecoming game against Blair Academy, he scored multiple touchdowns and had some big plays. Additionally, Nick scored the game winning touchdown in the team’s first game of the season against the Hill School, which Nick notes was his favorite moment of the season so far. As a postgraduate from Bethlehem, PA, he plays as a wide receiver and cornerback. He loves the Minnesota Vikings, and, while his favorite player may be Odell Beckham Jr., his role model is his older brother. Nick also enjoys math, Chick-fil-A, and the color Carolina blue. The Opinator wishes Nick and his team the best of luck this weekend as they travel to Loyola Blakefield School to compete!
