Most recruiters told former Edgewater High running back Craig Rucker he was too small to play college football when he was a senior in 2015-16.

At 5-foot-7, 155 pounds, Rucker was overlooked by most major colleges. The determined Rucker, however, did not let it get him down and remained steadfast in pursuit of his goal.

The Timber Creek senior receiver, who is also 5-foot-7 and weighs 160 pounds, is one of the best receivers in Central Florida. He never drops a ball, his route running is seamless, and once he gets the ball, much like Rucker, look out.
