Overview

Mark Tucker (born April 29, 1968) is a former American football lineman. High school career 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. College career Tucker played at the University of Southern California and graduated in 1991 with a Bachelor's degree in political science. A four-year starter at offensive guard, he won the job three games into his freshman season. He started 48 games in his career. He was All Pac-10 as a sophomore and senior, second-team as a junior, and first-team All-American as a senior. He was a finalist for the Lombardi Award and Outland Trophy given to the top lineman in college football. USC was 35-12-2 in his career, finishing 18th in the Associated Press in 1987, 7th in 1988, 8th in 1989 and 20th in 1990. Started the 1988, 1989 and 1990 Rose Bowl games. Finished his career in the Hancock Sun Bowl in 1990 as well losing to Michigan State 17-16. Played in the Hula Bowl All Star game in Hawaii.
