Episode No. 21 of the Irish Illustrated Interviews podcast series features Chance Tucker, a Notre Dame cornerback from 2021-25.
While on campus, he earned two degrees, including your master’s in business analytics this spring, before transferring to North Dakota State, which just moved up to the FBS level.
Our conversation covers how his dad reacted to Notre Dame's offer in high school, his relationship with former defensive backs coach Mike Mickens, and why he doesn’t regret his college decision, even though his career didn’t go as planned.
That includes overcoming two season-ending injuries.
Lastly, the episode dives into his decision to join the Bisons and why, as a Double Domer, he’ll always cheer on the Fighting Irish. That is, unless the two teams end up meeting in the 2026 College Football Playoffs.
