Leukemia claims former UAB football standout
Kirk Tuck, a former UAB football walk-on
who went on to earn a scholarship and later became an All-Conference USA
center with his hard work and determination, has died. Tuck died Monday
after battling leukemia for almost a year. He was 27, according to a report
on the C-USA website.
Tuck was diagnosed in August of 2005 with
acute myelogenous leukemia and battled the disease with the same fervor he
displayed during his playing days with the Blazers.
Tuck took over the starting center job for
UAB midway through the 2000 season, his sophomore year. He started all 11
games in 2001 and the full season in 2002. Known for his leadership and
unfailing dedication, Tuck was named to the All-Conference USA team
following his senior season in 2002.
"Kirk was always a winner," said UAB head
coach Watson Brown. "He's one of those players who you coach whom you truly
love. He fought for everything he ever had. Kirk really is this program's
all-time captain, someone we can all be proud of and blessed to say we knew.
He came here as a walk-on, worked hard and became a three-year starter and
then an all-conference player."
Tuck was a four-year starter at Pelham (AL)
High School and earned All-Shelby County and all-metro honors a senior.
Tuck is survived by his wife, Melissa.
ACC
honors Dukie Redick, Terp Infante
Duke basketball player J.J. Redick, winner

field hockey player-of-the-year Paula Infante, who led her Maryland team to
the 2005 NCAA Championship, are the 2005-06 Atlantic Coast Conference male
and female athletes of the year, according to an announcement at
theacc.com.
