Jonathan Rucker excelled as a leader and linebacker at PHS and LSU. Now, as a husband, father, businessman, and community volunteer, he is giving back to the Ponchatoula community that raised him. In this interview, you'll see just how great and genuine Jonathan is. He comes from a great family that has been integral to Ponchatoula for generations. His mother, Connie Dotey, is a local legend. She was the first female state trooper in Louisiana, Chief Deputy of the TPSO Juvenile Division, a successful businesswoman, and a dedicated mother. Jonathan took her teaching to heart, and it paid off. He also applied the lessons her learned on the field from coaches like Brandon Bennett, Hank Tierney, and Les Miles. And now he is sharing them with other young men through, Rucker's House, a local non-profit he founded with the goal of giving young men ages 16-17 who are in foster care an opportunity to gain their independence and to earn an education.(https://www.
