8/18/2022 4:03:00 PM | Football
Syracuse fans should be #PL34SED with where star running back Sean Tucker ranks among the nation's best football players.
ESPN.com tabbed Tucker as the No. 15 player in college football in their top-100 players rankings for 2022. Tucker is the second-highest player from the ACC behind Brian Bresee from Clemson.
Tucker is up for a multitude of national awards, having already been named to the Maxwell Award, Doak Walker Award and Walter Camp Player of the Year Award watch lists. He is also a Preseason All-American by nearly all major preseason publications and was selected to the All-ACC team.
Syracuse's single-season rushing record holder, his 1,496 rushing yards broke Joe Morris' 42-year-old record in 2021. The top offensive vote getter on the 2021 All-ACC team, Tucker also broke Syracuse's single-season record with nine 100+ yard rushing games and became the first player in program history to rush for 100+ yards and have 100+ yards receiving in the same game when he did so against UAlbany. He was a First Team All-American by the Football Writers of America Association, second team All-American by the Associated Press, Walter Camp Foundation and American Football Coaches Association of the consensus teams.
Syracuse Athletics has also launched an official Heisman Trophy campaign for him, using #PL34SED as the official slogan. #PL34SED combines his number (34) with his fan-favorite catchphrase "pleased with my performance" which often appears in his viral postgame tweets after outstanding games.
