  08/27/21 - WR Tre TuckerSr/2023, Cincinnati

  Having a kick returner who can flip the field in a matter of seconds is an invaluable weapon for a football team. It's also a massive headache for a defensive coordinator. "Football is such a game of field position," University of Cincinnati defensive coordinator Mike Tressel said. "It's scary when you're covering kicks or as a defense when you know there's a guy back there that can take it to the house...That's a huge weapon in field position." The good news for Tressel, who is entering his first season as the Bearcats' defensive coordinator: One of the top return specialists in the American Athletic Conference is on his team.

Cincinnati junior wide receiver Tre Tucker was named second-team All-AAC as a kick returner last season after averaging a league-best 29.9 yards per return. Tucker accumulated 389 yards on 13 returns, with one of those returns going for a 97-yard score in a 28-7 win over South Florida at Nippert Stadium. The touchdown return was the first of Tucker's career and the first kickoff return score for the Bearcats since Ralph David Abernathy IV raced 90 yards into the end zone against Vanderbilt in the 2011 Liberty Bowl. "You need to have good vision because a lot of stuff happens so quick," said Tucker on what makes a special kick returner. "You gotta be able to see something and be able to hit it in that quick span or it will close up. Obviously, you need to have great speed too because like I said, things close up. You gotta be able to hit it and go." Tucker's vision is unmatched, and the 5-foot-9-inch, 175-pound Akron native, who runs the 40-yard dash in 4.3 seconds, is the fastest player on the Cincinnati roster. - Cincinnati Enquirer
