high-volume, ball-hawking safety with NFL-ready production
Rucker is the kind of safety who changes a defense by finding the football: in 2024 he led Oklahoma State in tackles, earned Big 12 Defensive Player of the Week honors, and showed real playmaking juice with two interceptions against Utah; in 2023 he piled up 100 tackles, four tackles for loss, two forced fumbles and two recoveries. His differentiators are range, pursuit speed, and a relentless intensity that keeps him involved every snap, though he has dealt with a late-season injury limitation in 2024. If you want a tough, instinctive, production-heavy defensive back, he fits.
