Tucker Booth '22 Recruiting Profile

Hello.  My name is Tucker Booth.  I am from Colonial Heights, Virginia.  I play middle linebacker and fullback.  I am in honors/AP classes and I get all A's and B's.  I want to play college football at a small D-III school close to me because I want to further my education and continue playing football.  I'm thinking that I want to get an engineering degree because I excel in Math.  I got a 590 on my Geometry SOL 3 years ago and got a 1200 on my SAT this year.  I also want to improve on my football skills and knowledge.  I am very coachable and I can catch onto things very quickly.  I can also make all of the calls for the defense on the field like I've done the past 4 years.  I watch film all the time studying the other team and finding out what I need to improve on.  I was the only freshman starter on defense for my whole freshmen year.  I received the coaches award for the team freshmen year for stepping up to the plate for being a freshman starter and for my hard work and dedication ever since I started working out with the football team in the spring of 7th grade.  I played my sophomore season 3 years ago.  I got voted to be one of the four team captains that year for the team and got the team leadership award at the end of the season.  I was one of the more influential players on our team that year on the field and off the field.  Last season, I was once again a team captain and improved my skills and ability through the short Covid season.  I was awarded Defensive MVP for last season. My senior year has been pretty successful for me so far.  I am currently leading the team in tackles and forced fumbles.  My goal is to have our team go to the playoffs for the 1st time since I've been there. I also used to wrestle for 10 years.  I was a 2-time state placer, once in 2017 and again in 2018.   I am a Boy Scout who is an Eagle Scout, the highest rank.  I have been active in scouting since I was in 1st grade doing lots of volunteer work and going camping once a month.  For my Eagle Project I repaired the picnic benches at my mom's school and put in a trash can holder for her students.  I feel like I'm different from most other recruits because I am very coachable and willing to learn, I am smarter than most recruits out there, and I'm willing to do any difficult tasks that I have to in order to be successful at what I do on the field and off the field.
