Rucker still holds the school record for career tackles with 215, rushed for an area-best 1,040 yards as a senior All-American and was the only player in 1973 to receive first-team All-State honors in both offense and defense. He was a three-year starter, won the Tucson Daily Citizen Student-Athlete of the Year award in 1975 and signed to the UA, but retired from football shortly after.
