Tucker hails from New Albany, Miss., and committed to LSU on August 1. After a visit to Oxford for the season opener last week, he made the decision to pledge to the home state school.
Rivals/On3 ranks Tucker as the No. 19 offensive tackle in the class and No. 8 player in Mississippi.
LSU’s current crop of commitments boasts four-star tackle Brysten Martinez and three-start tackle Bryson Cooley.
