— Bigctuck (@CaseyTucker77) December 20, 2013 Bud Elliott, National Recruiting Analyst: I am a big fan of Casey Tucker. Having seen him twice in person, he really improved during his senior season. Tucker has a build to eventually play at about 310 pounds, with excellent length. And he is a natural knee bender, which is important as it is sometimes tough to get waist bender to become a knee bender. Tucker has light, quick feet for a player of his size and age. That, plus his size and length will enable him to become a very good pass blocker in college. I would like to see Tucker become a better drive blocker in the run game, and sometimes he lunges at the second level, though when he locks on to his target he really uncoils and delivers a blow. I definitely believe he is one of the best 10 or 15 tackles I have scouted in the class of 2014.
