If everything works out, Sean Tucker’s goal is to run for Syracuse University’s track team.

The former high school track star said speed training, or “running linear,” is beneficial to him because those same techniques translate onto the football field.

“It gives him a way to kind of tap into the next gear, right, because he’s already fast,” said Dan Harper, Tucker’s high school track coach who’s continued to train him even after graduation.
