Scouting Journal – Denton (TX) Ryan vs. Aledo (TX) High School
“Four-star Michigan State CB commit Chance Rucker showed off his tenacity as a tackler against Aledo. The long, 6-foot defensive back lowered his shoulder on several occasions against ball-carriers and is a sure tackler that isn’t shy about defending the run. Rucker also made receivers earn their catches on throws underneath. He has a good feel for the position and his physicality was well-documented.” – On3’s Sam Spiegelman
NIL Valuation
Rucker currently has an On3 NIL Valuation of $23k. The On3 NIL Valuation is an index that looks to set the standard market value for both high school and college-level athletes. The NIL valuation does not act as a tracker of the value of NIL deals an athlete has completed to date. It rather signifies an athlete’s value at a certain moment in time.
