Would Tre Tucker be in the NFL today without the influence of his parents, Tracey and Gerald?

“W due for a WIN.” That’s Tre Tucker’s whole vibe—on and off-field. This Las Vegas’ wide receiver ain’t just about catching footballs; he’s catching life’s big wins too. If you’ve scrolled through his IG, you know Tucker’s all about the hustle, the grind, and stacking success like it’s second nature. 

Faith in God, love for the game, and a mindset locked on winning—that’s the Tre Tucker way. And, of course, behind it all are his day-one supporters: mom Tracey Tucker and dad Gerald Tucker, the ones who’ve had his back from day one. 

Who are Tre Tucker’s parents, Tracey & Gerald?

“I want to express the unending love I have for my family.” That’s how Tre Tucker rolls—his life, his grind, and everything in between. And when he says “family,” he’s not just tossing it out there. Born in Akron, Ohio, Tucker is the youngest of 12 (yep, 12) siblings, with Gerald and Tracey Tucker leading the pack. They’ve clearly been the real MVPs behind the scenes. Sure, Tucker’s got speed and hands, but it’s the values from his parents that lit the fire.

Gerald and Tracey? Oh, they’ve been the steady rock for the young WR, from those early youth sports days to the bright lights of the NFL. Growing up in a house full of athletes (because, of course, most of his siblings played sports), the Tucker family was all about competition, discipline, and sticking together. And that vibe? It made Tucker into the beast he is today. While fans see the Raiders’ wideout snagging passes, the real ones know Gerald and Tracey are the heartbeat behind his success.

A post shared by Tre Tucker (@tretucker)

Let’s talk about faith for a second—something that’s been huge for the Cincinnati standout. Raised in a Christian home, faith’s been part of the Tucker family’s DNA. Whether it was at Cuyahoga Valley Christian Academy, where Tucker tore up both the football field and the track, or now in the league, faith’s pretty much been his anchor. 

But behind every touchdown and every sprint were his parents, always cheering louder than anyone else. Tre Tucker didn’t forget that when he declared for the NFL Draft, either. In his heartfelt announcement, he made sure to give props to his family, reminding everyone they’re his ‘why.’ He dropped a post on IG, thanking God and his parents, “First and foremost, I want to thank God, because without him none of this would be possible. I also want to express the unending love I have for my family. You guys are my why.”

Meet the Raiders’ star wide receiver: Tre Tucker

The Raiders WR’s game’s as hot as his journey from Akron to Las Vegas. At Cuyahoga Valley, Tucker was a human highlight reel, racking up 2,288 rushing yards and 1,854 receiving yards like it was no big deal. His senior year? Off the charts! He helped CVCA break a 14-year playoff drought, earning PAC-7 Player and 1st Team All-State honors.

Then came the 2023 NFL Draft. The WR was a third-round pick for the LVR. He wasted no time, snagging his first two pro TDs in a nail-biting Week 15 game against the Chargers. In his rookie season, he tallied 19 receptions for 331 yards and two TDs—showing he’s ready to make some serious noise. CVCA’s HC Dan Larlham put it best, “Watching Tre grow as a person, athlete, and spiritual leader has been one of my career highlights. Coach Fickell’s getting a top-notch player, but Tre’s character will take Cincinnati Football to the next level.” 

So, whether he’s breaking records or snagging clutch catches, Tre Tucker’s just getting warmed up. And those Akron roots? Always a key part of the game plan.
