[edit] College Career
Tucker was a high school sprint champion in the 100 and 200 meters. He ran track at Wisconsin and finished second in the Big Ten 100-meter dash in 2002. He played enough as a true freshman in 1999 to earn a letter but really did not play that many snaps on defense and was in on just one tackle. He was a top backup and nickel back in 2000, when was in on 22 tackles and broke up seven passes. He started the first two games in 2001. He had 15 tackles and broke up two passes. In 2002, he had five interceptions, including one returned for a touchdown, one fumble recovery and one forced fumble.
