RB SEAN TUCKER, SYRACUSE
The former three-star running back from Owings Mills, Maryland, is one of the best stories in college football for making the most of a good opportunity. Tucker was buried on the depth chart as a freshman, but due to injuries and opt-outs, he found himself the starter four games into the 2020 season. He played well that year, recording the third-most rushing yards of any true freshman in Syracuse history. But his second season is where he really took his game from a nice story to one with NFL potential.As a sophomore, Tucker rushed for 1,496 yards, fourth-most among all FBS players. He was named first-team All-ACC and first-team All-American. At 5-foot-10 and 210 pounds, Tucker looks like an NFL player already when lining up in the backfield. His balance and how light he is on his feet are impressive for a player of his size. His high school track background (a true sprinter in track who ran the 60-meter dash in 6.88 seconds as a freshman) shows up in his long speed, too. He needs to work on being more of a natural when asked to catch passes, but other than that, this is one of the most complete backs you’ll find in the 2023 class at the moment.
