Defensive Backs

Bio

Coach Tuck was raised in Dover, New Jersey, and made a name for himself on the football field early on. He completed his high school career at Pope John XXIII High School in Sparta, New Jersey, where he became the second all-time leading rusher in state history with over 7,000 all-purpose yards. He also ranked in the top five for career scoring with more than 100 touchdowns. A three-year starter, Tuck earned All-State honors in both his junior and senior seasons.

After high school, Tuck began his collegiate playing career at Hampton University before transferring to El Camino College, where he played as a running back. He later finished his college career at Kutztown University. There, he made a unique impact as the only player on the team to start on both offense and defense, eventually becoming a starting defensive back. He wrapped up his career at Kutztown with 60 tackles, four interceptions, and one pick-six before a neck injury brought his playing days to an early end.

Driven by a passion for the game and a deep understanding of it from both sides of the ball, Coach Tuck transitioned into coaching. Now in his third year as the defensive backs coach, he has played a vital role in building one of the top JUCO defenses in the country. In his second year on staff, he helped produce two First Team All-State cornerbacks who ranked second and third in the state in interceptions. That same year, his defense finished second in the nation with an impressive 25 interceptions.

Coach Tuck continues to bring energy, experience, and a player-first mentality to his role, helping to develop young athletes both on and off the field
