Mark Tucker (born April 29, 1968 in Spokane, Washington) is an American football lineman.
Tucker played football at Banning High School in Wilmington, California. He started at offensive tackle his junior and senior year. He was teammates with Jamelle Holieway, Leroy Holt, and Courtney Hall (Rice University). Tucker and Hall were the best offensive tackle tandem in the Marine League that year, with Tucker being only a junior. Tucker was named to the All State Underclass team as a junior. Was named to the Daily Breeze All Star 1st team as a junior and senior. He was the South Bay Lineman of the year as a senior (1986). The Pilots had a talented I-veer running attack with Holieway (Oklahoma) at quarterback, Holt (USC) at fullback and Bret Young (Oregon) at the I-Back Brett getting 611 yards in a single game, a Banning High School record with each gaining 1,000 yards rushing in 1984 as they reached the finals at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum only to fall to rival Carson 33-20 finishing as the runner up with a 10-2 record.
His senior year (1985) the Pilots struggled early with a tough non-conference schedule that included powerhouse Long Beach Poly but put together a solid campaign to finish the regular season 6-3 and advanced to the LA City 4A playoffs. With victories over Kennedy and San Fernando, the Pilots assured themselves of a rematch with the Carson Colts in the 1985 title tilt. Banning uncharacteristically took to the air, catching Carson off guard they pulled off a dramatic and dominating performance winning 31-7 to recapture the LA City title, the 8th in Banning Highs history.
