Proven UNC Edge Rusher with NFL-Ready Pass-Rush Production
Rucker was one of North Carolina’s most productive defenders, finishing his 2024 season with 30 tackles, 8 tackles for loss, 6 sacks, and an interception in just eight games before a cracked fibula cut his year short.[5][12][13] Over his UNC career, he built a reputation as a disruptive, high-motor edge player with 22 sacks and 38.5 tackles for loss, highlighted by a 3-sack game against Virginia and consistent backfield pressure.[15] He looks like a good fit for teams needing an experienced, energetic pass rusher who brings effort, finish, and production more than pure size or flash.[14][17]
