Lukabu was the Patriot League Defensive Player of the Year in 2002 and 2003, becoming the first player in history to win that honor twice. He helped the Raiders win back-to-back Patriot League championships in 2002 and 2003, the first Colgate football team to achieve that feat. As a tri-captain his senior year, Lukabu led his team to the national championship game. His senior year, he was selected to the Associated Press All-America Third Team, as well as ECAC All-Star First Team and All-Atlantic Region First Team by the Football Gazette. Lukabu was selected to the All-Patriot League First Team in 2002 and 2003, and he was Colgate's leading tackler his final two seasons. He finished his career with 266 tackles. A history major at Colgate, Lukabu has coached football since 2006 – including a 2014 stint at his alma mater – and currently serves as linebackers coach with the Cincinnati Bengals.
