Out of high school, former Stanford and ASU offensive lineman Casey Tucker was an elite prospect. A four-star recruit and Under Armour All-American, Tucker started 27 games for the Cardinal and 12 for the Sun Devils.
Now, the Hamilton High School graduate has the chance to take his talents to the next level.
On Thursday, the first round of the 2019 NFL Draft will get underway in Nashville, Tennessee. A total of 254 young men will hear their names called in the NFL’s yearly selection of elite talent in the college game.
But for Tucker, the likelihood that his name will be uttered at the podium in Music City this weekend is low.
