VERNON TUCKER '21 Recruiting Profile

As a passionate and dedicated football player, my goal is to play college football at a great school. I am a multi-sport varsity athlete (football, wrestling and track), who is looking to achieve my goal of becoming an NCAA student athlete. I have a 4.0 GPA and I am on the Deans List. I have a passion for learning new things and striving to be the best I can be. Although my dad was absent, my love for football and athleticism comes from him.  He played football, basketball, and baseball all his life. He stands at a massive 6’8 – 300lbs, and played defensive  end. My work ethic, commitment and spirit come from my mom, who is a hard-working single mother. My mom put herself through graduate school while raising 3 sons on her own. Watching her, gave me the determination and will-power to be all I can be, in spite of all the adversity I faced. Being raised in the home with no father figure brought on many challenges for me.  I have struggled academically but this has put the fire in me to be strong and never give up.  I have matured and pulled myself up by my bootstraps. I have learned that with hard work and dedication, I can be and do anything that’s put in front of me. 

I am confident that I will continue to develop as a linebacker, or what ever position best suited for the team. I am excited for my upcoming college years.  If given the opportunity, I have no doubt, I would be a great asset to a college football team.  

Thank you for taking the time to view my profile.  I look forward to hearing from you.
