2021 NFL Draft Scouting Report: Alijah Vera-Tucker
Before the 2020 season, Alijah Vera-Tucker had opted out before the season and was focusing on the 2021 draft. Upon learning that the PAC-12 would be playing, he returned to USC and made the transition from left guard to left tackle, due to Austin Jackson being selected in the NFL Draft by the Miami Dolphins. Vera-Tucker has made a vast move up draft boards recently as he has the versatility to play both guard and tackle, something that is becoming more important in the NFL today.
