Lucas Balthazar Niang[1] (born August 18, 1998) is an American professional football offensive tackle.

He played college football at TCU and was selected by the Kansas City Chiefs in the third round of the 2020 NFL draft.

After enrolling at TCU in 2016, Niang played in 12 of the Horned Frogs' 13 games as a true freshman that fall.

He became a starter midway through his sophomore season in 2017, helping lead the Frogs to the program's first-ever berth in the Big 12 Championship Game and a win in the 2017 Alamo Bowl over Stanford.

[4] Starting all 13 games at right tackle for TCU as a junior in 2018, Niang didn't allow a sack the entire season[5] and earned 2nd Team All-Big 12 honors [6] before helpling lead the Frogs to a win over California in the 2018 Cheez-It Bowl.

[11] Niang was forced to end his senior season early after TCU pulled out an upset win against the University of Texas in late October 2019.

He had been advised by his doctor the week before to get surgery to repair a torn hip labrum he had been playing through since the beginning of the season to avoid the risk of a more severe injury.
