Since declaring for the 2021 NFL Draft, Alijah Vera-Tucker has signed with EXOS Sports NFL Combine Program.
The pairing was announced earlier this week.
Vera-Tucker announced his draft news on Monday, December 28th to Yahoo! Sports’ Pete Thamel. The California native helped lead the Trojans to the 2020 Pac-12 Championship and an overall record of 5-1. Vera-Tucker brings flexibility to the table which will undoubtedly help his draft stock, as he can play both tackle and guard. This season the NFL prospect took a shot at the left tackle position and covered Kedon Slovis' blind slide.
Although he is expected to return to the guard position in the big leagues, his experience on the left side was invaluable.
CBS writes, "Chicago adds Alijah Vera-Tucker to an unsteady offensive line likely tasked with blocking for Mitchell Trubisky and David Montgomery next season. I am not sure Bears fans envisioned that scenario two months ago but it seems likely as they are stuck in no man's land in regards to a quarterback in the first round."
