Yale’s reliable leg and steady scoring weapon
In the 2019 season, Sam Tuckerman was one of Yale’s most valuable quiet killers: he converted 14 of 18 field goals, hit 43 of 46 extra points, and scored 85 points while earning All-New England honors as the Ivy League’s top kicker. His edge is consistency under pressure, plus enough range to matter on real drives, not just PATs. For a team, he profiles as a trustworthy specialist who can stabilize the scoreboard and flip close games without needing the spotlight.
