Local standout Theriaque commits to Univ. of New Haven
Lucas Theriaque, a versatile athlete from Woodstock Academy, has committed to and enrolled at the University of New Haven.
His former coach at Putnam Science Academy (PSA), Mook Zimmerman, said: “I was very happy for Lucas. But it was definitely deserving! Lucas is a very good athlete and even better kid. I couldn’t be more excited for him. Lucas is in love with the weight room, and they have a great strength and conditioning program there.”
The coach added: “Lucas came in, did what he was supposed to do; went where he was supposed to go. He sat in the front in the meetings; led by example. Just a hard-working kid.”
Theriaque’s’ adaptability on the field is noteworthy, according to the coach. “He can play five different positions and be effective. His discipline and willingness to learn will get him a long way.”
Zimmerman added Theriaque’s commitment, “means a lot. It means a lot to any of our student-athletes to better their education and athletic careers. That’s what we’re about here at PSA, getting our student-athletes the exposure, player development, and opportunity!”
