Perry county's Jacob Tucker

[Jbalumni81]

From lil ole 1A perry co high school in linden tenn to division II North Alabama in Florence Jacob tucker once again is in the limelight, leading the lions in next Saturday's div II national championship in Kansas. A former mr football winner in class 1A in Tennessee to now a finalist in div II for player of the year award ! What a awesome career this young man from the backwoods of tenn has had ! All I can say is go out and win that championship title and hopefully the player of the year in division II,,, all you small school athletes don't ever let anyone tell you that your not big enough, fast enough or strong enough ! Set your goals high and spread your wings,,, congrats to the north Alabama roaring lions and Jacob tucker !

Had the pleasure of watching him in person a few times...not surprising that he's achieved what he has, and wouldn't bet against him in the championship either. Over the past few years a few posters on here have slighted his abilities...hope that they read this!!!

Talked to Jacob will on a visit and a couple of camps with my middle son at una, great athlete but a great all around person! I hope he gets that national champion ring!

This is awesome. I mentioned him a few weeks back when I was talking about Dresser Winn. I made the statement that Tucker was one of those special players in 1A that don't come around often. Some on this board laughed at me. Look at Mr. Tucker now...

So many haters back when he was putting up unbelievable numbers in high school said it's was only cause he was playing in 1A. Whose the fools now?

Guru that 2010 game will probably be the best football game these two schools of ours will ever play, two mr football qbs taking their teams into triple overtime for the region championship in the last regular season game undefeated, a true classic! I'll never forget the show Tucker and Rice put on that night

Its was unbelievable, best football game I've ever been to. Most fans I've ever seen at a high school game also.

TheGuru should change his name back to Pre. "TheGuru" days. What was the name again?
