2014 DE Olajuwon Tucker has big goals for his Junipero Serra football team, but is focusing on getting better with them this offseason.
“Actually on Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays we are working out with the team and then on Sundays I’m working out by myself. I’m trying to get better everyday with the team as well.”
Tucker is moving positions for his team, going from the defensive end to the outside linebacker position. He is focusing on several parts of his game to become more versatile.
“Right now, I’m working on my pass coverage and my drops since I’m moving to outside linebacker. I originally played outside linebacker in Pop Warner so it’s an easier transition.”
The 6’4 225-pound rush end has high expectations for his team this year and is working very hard to achieve them.
“This season were trying to get a state title under our belts and try to go undefeated as well.”
The California native is currently hearing from a fair number of schools and is truly cherishing the recruiting process.
“It’s going great. It’s slowed down lately, but it;s been great.”
Tucker doesn’t mind the consistent calling from coaches and values the opportunity to hear from them.
“I enjoy it because you have to really cherish every moment of it.”
Several schools have checked in on the Junipero Serra product, including Miami, Utah, San Jose State and Washington State. Tucker is heavily interested in the Hurricanes with the both the athletic and academic side of the school.
“Definitely the football program, the school and the academic program as well. It’s great place to be out there, I just feel like I could be out there. I’m gonna try and make it out there soon and see how it really is.”
Tucker’s first offer happens to be from the ‘Canes which is very important to him.
“You know it’s really important. That’s why it’s gonna be one of my first trips as well.”
Receivers coach Brennan Caroll is Tucker’s main recruiter and likes his California attitude.
“He is a cool, funny guy. He is a Cali guy too.”
Tucker has no timeline for a decision but does have a idea of when it could happen.
“I’m not sure yet. If it’s not before the season it will be after.”
