Nice length at 6'0 a little wiry but makes some nice plays.  

In his highlight you'll notice our signee Tyreke Davis almost pick the same pass off but lets him take it.

His 247 picture is him wearing a UNT jersey. I like our chances. Open up that pipeline to Denton Ryan!

He actually reminds me a lot of Nate (Brooks). Same height but Jordan actually has 20 pounds more on him than Nate did when he was recruited. Could be a great pickup if we can stay on top of it.

I'll respectfully disagree

Care to explain?

Yes, definitely not a Nate Brooks match. Heavier and plays more stiff than Nate. If comparing Rucker to a current player on the roster, maybe an Ashton Preston?

Different corners to me.  Nate is longer more fluid, his tape was much better as a HS recruit.  Nate has all the athleticism in the world, he relies on it too much.  Needs to fix his technique and he's got a chance to be special.   

 

This kid is more of a physical corner who gets his hands on and bullies WR in routes.  I love his tape don't get me wrong.

Thanks.  I was just curious as to the differences you observed.  Like to read your insight.

Now rated by 247 as a 3 star .8277 recruit. 247 picture still of him in a UNT jersey and he hasn't picked up anymore offers since us. I'm liking our odds.

[UNTLifer]

Maybe Tyreke Davis can spend a little time with him.

Looks like he has picked up 5 D1 offers since us, according to 247. (SMU, Texas State, Rice, Southern Miss, & Purdue)

[AustinFromUNT]

Looks like he is at least still interested in UNT.

[BTG_Fan1]

I'm hoping we can add Rucker and the WR from Ryan Dove(?)

Hopefully he is, but I think he is surprised Davis (his former teammate) is on offense.

Not be over looked but his team mate Tauskie Dove is also in that picture, and that my friend would be an amazing pick up of those 3.  Please sweet football baby jesus give us these three. 

[Charlie NT 73]

I think Rucker will be the hardest to get, but hopefully he will be interested by our secondary this year with Jenks and Nate. 

Rucker could come in and play a big role once Jenkins leaves too.

Just saying, his profile picture is now a picture of him wearing a UNT uniform with a girl next to him. Could be a good sign.

I know that. It was more to Austin saying he has a good feeling because he's wearing a UNT jersey in his profile pic. Could be something or nothing. I hope it's good news

No doubt. These are 17/18 year old kids lol a lot of times kids pin their "biggest" offer.
