Hudl.com has video.

Partial quote from a 05/19/15 article on Tucker by Scout.com:


"The talent is clearly there. Tucker at one time was on the Scout Top 300 watch list -- before he missed his junior year due to injury. He starred as a defensive lineman on his sophomore tape. 

Now he has grown even more and his future may be on the defensive line, but he has a great wingspan and size to be a real difference maker as well on the offensive line in college. 

O-line may be the position he has the most ranking value, but 'Big Tuck' does not care about his future position. He just wants to play. 

"My biggest strengths are working hard with my teammates and being versatile too," Tucker informed. "I can play the offensive line or the defensive line."

Besides UMass, Tucker holds offers from Tulane, UTSA, North Texas and New Mexico.
