Justin Tucker

 Justin Paul Tucker (born November 21, 1989) is an American professional football placekicker for the Baltimore Ravens of the National Football League. He played college football for the Texas Longhorns and signed with the Ravens as an undrafted free agent in 2012. Often regarded as one of the greatest placekickers ever, Tucker holds the NFL record for longest field goal at 66 yards and career field goal percentage at 89.1%. He has also been named to seven Pro Bowls and five first-team All-Pros, and was a member of the Ravens team that won Super Bowl XLVII.

Early life-Tucker attended Westlake High School in Austin, Texas. At Westlake, he was a teammate of future NFL quarterback Nick Foles, tight end Kyle Adams, and linebacker Bryce Hager. Tucker played wide receiver, safety, and placekicker on the Westlake Chaparrals. He also played soccer from age three or four up until his sophomore year. Tucker played in the 2008 U.S. Army All-American Bowl.

College career-Tucker attended the University of Texas at Austin and played on the Longhorns football team. In 2011, concluding a rivalry that saw Texas A&M University and the University of Texas square off 118 times over 117 years, he kicked the game-winning field goal as time expired. Texas, then ranked No. 25, won 27–25. Although Tucker finished his college football career with an 83.3% field-goal conversion percentage, which was the third-best in the program's history, Tucker was not invited to the East-West Shrine Game, Senior Bowl or the NFL Scouting Combine.

Originally a communications major, Tucker switched to recording technology and studied under Nikita Storojev at the Sarah and Ernest Butler School of Music where he learned to sing operatically in English, Spanish, French, Italian, German, Latin, and Russian. Tucker graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in music a semester early in order to train for the NFL draft.
