Mark Rucker brings proven tackle production and run-stopping range to UCF
Rucker’s value is his **production and reliability**: in the 2016 season at UCF, he started 12 games at inside linebacker and led the Knights with 93 tackles, including 11.5 tackles for loss. That profile suggests a linebacker who plays fast, attacks downhill, and can disrupt plays behind the line, not just clean them up after the fact. The catch: the available public data is older, so there’s limited current-form visibility, but his past tape and stat line point to a high-motor, physical defender who fits best on a team that wants an active, assignment-sound linebacker.
