Overview
When you have the nickname Hercules, you definitely can pull off magnificent feats of strength while looking the part and Lukas Van Ness definitely fits the herculean mold. His power, explosiveness, and overall athleticism for his size is a menacing and enticing blend and NFL teams looking for project that could turn into a pass rush phenom need to keep an eye on him for draft day. What's going to likely hurt his stock during the draft will be his inexperience and lack of games under his belt and raw technique as defensive lineman because he needs considerable work an polishing to become a much more consistent rusher. He's one of the biggest boom-or-bust prospects in this draft and with the right coach, he could be a phenom on the defensive line.
