Eskimos Record
Jason Tucker (born June 24, 1976) is a former American and Canadian football slotback and the current receivers coach for the Saskatchewan Roughriders of the Canadian Football League. He spent three years in the National Football League before joining the Edmonton Eskimos in 2002. Tucker played for the Eskimos for seven seasons, winning two Grey Cup championships, before suffering a career-ending neck injury in 2008.
Tucker attended Robinson High School in Robinson, Texas, where he excelled in football, basketball and track and field, particularly long jumping, in which he was a state finalist his junior and senior years. He also competed in the 400-meter relay at the state finals his senior year. Tucker played on the freshman football team but made the varsity basketball and track team as a freshman, where he made an immediate impact. As a high school player, he was not considered a vocal leader, but he did not have to be: his on-field heroics more than once breathed life into his teammates (notably when he scored two touchdowns in the span of 30 seconds against the 1993 Troy Trojans). He played his sophomore, junior and senior years as a wide receiver and defensive back.
Tucker played college football for Texas Christian University. During his sophomore season, he caught 31 passes for 433 yards. The following year, he became the team's second leading receiver, with 39 catches, for 692 yards, and four touchdowns. Even better numbers were expected for his senior year; however, he did not play after being suspended for a rules violation. At TCU, Tucker amassed 1,197 yards on 78 pass receptions, for an average of 15.3 yards, and a total of five touchdowns.
