Early years
Lukas was born in Barrington, Illinois, to Leanna and Jason Van Ness. He committed to Iowa after a great highschool run where he got 37 sacks his senior year along with 17 TFL's and 3 FF. Before that he didn't start his Freshman year but progressed rapidly after that. He was injured his junior year with a High ankle sprain which affected his numbers drastically. He caught the eye of several college teams but chose to join the elite Iowa defense. He was a top 25 recruit going into college which got his sponsor deals. He signed a deal with Nike for 500k and an unlimited amount of Nike apparel. This was a win win because Nikes sales increased by 7% for the next few months. Some scouts were calling him a bust and saying that his highschool career was his peak. Lukas now felt challenged and set out to prove them wrong. He put in the work in the time before the season and added 15 pounds of more muscle now putting him in the high 270's.
College career
As a true freshman, Lukas started immeditetly playing rotationally, but was able to make an impact with 12 sacks and 67 tackles which is great for a freshman. The following year saw noticable improvements, as Lukas racked up 13 sacks and 71 tackles. His junior year he got 17 sacks but dipped in tackles as he only got 59. In his senior year he got 24 sacks and 11 TFL's and 63 tackles which set a record for most sacks in a season at Iowa. He also set the record for most sacks in a game with 7 in the game against top 10 team Michigan. He was a All American First Teamer and won the Chuck Bednarik Award. But one day he was at his friend's house. His friend Tavon, didn't exactly live in a safe neighborhood so one day a local gang did a driveby shooting on Tavon's house with Lukas inside. He was shot in his left hamstring and in his right pectoral muscle. He was rushed to the hospital and went into surgery. He was expected to make a full recovery though he went undrafted and is currentley working out daily waiting for a team to sign him and give him a chance.
