Last year, Tucker proved to be one of the states most imposing linemen with his physical, smash-mouth playing style. Standing at 6-foot-6 and 325-pounds, he was a mismatch for every lineman he faced. Due to his pure size and strength, Tucker kept a clean pocket for his quarterback in pass protection. When run blocking, he fired off the line and opened up big holes for the ball carrier.
When asked of his playing style, Tucker said he is very aggressive and dominant with a habit of playing to the whistle. This has combined with his physical traits to create a highly coveted prospect. As of now, Tucker says a lot of school see him as a left tackle, which is his favorite position on the offensive line.

Looking at his film, it's tough to tell how he'd project on the left side- his team just didn't throw it that much. What I was impressed with is his motor, ability to get down and chop block for a guy his size, and just his run blocking in general. Did seem to be much smaller kids he was mauling for the most part. Might project as a RT.
But I have to say, so far in the Jones era the evaluation of O Linemen has been pretty damn good.
His level of competition is going up this year so their should be some better opportunities to evaluate him. Although I still don't know if he'll match up against anyone remotely his size.
