The 2011 NCAA Slam Dunk champion and former Harlem Globetrotter, Jacob Tucker may have put Illinois College on the map more than any other athlete in school history. A two-year captain of the men's basketball team and a two-time All-MWC selection, Tucker scored more than 1,000 points in his career and ranks among the Top 10 in career three-pointers made in Blueboy history. It was his dunks that became his calling card, however. A YouTube video of his dunks has garnered better than five million views and led to his inclusion in the 2011 NCAA Slam Dunk Contest. His performance there wowed the crowd and he was crowned champion in a field that included participants from Cincinnati, Memphis, Pittsburgh, St. John's and Tulsa.
