Hobart Goes to the Top Drawer to Enroll Trumansburg Scholar Athlete

The Odessafile.com reports that Trumansburg's (NY) Tucker Randle intends to play football at Hobart this fall.  Randle played DE for the Blue Raiders and averaged nine tackles per game (according to MaxPreps.com).  Tucker also scored a safety in a 27-12 win over Edison (Elmira Heights, NY) and was an All-State Track high jumper, as well as a top student at THS.

The following synopsis on Tucker, a winner of a "Top Drawer Award", was provided in the attached link:

Tucker Randle is a Trumansburg senior who excels in football, indoor track and spring track. He was a 1st Team Section IV All-Star in football, and is an exceptional High Jumper in track, winning Section IV indoor and outdoor titles last year, as well as sharing in a Section IV 4x100 Relay title. He is a High Honor student with a 3.6 grade-point average, is a member of Boys State, the Green Team Environmental Club and the Outdoor Education Club, is a math tutor, and recipient of a Student of Distinction award. He coaches Pee Wee football and track, is on the community Earth Day Cleanup Committee, has helped rebuild the overlook at Buttermilk Falls, is on the Farmers Market Building Committee, and has visited Guatemala to help build a school for children -- a trip he plans to repeat this year. He will attend Hobart College, where he plans to play football.


All in all, Tucker sounds like a great kid and I'd like to be the one of the first alumni to welcome him to Hobart.  Based on all of the above he sounds like he'll make a great Statesman.

Update - It appears Tucker has either opted out of football or is attending another school.  He does not appear on the Statesmen's FY roster (8/12/11)
