Jack Zephania Tocho (born November 2, 1995) is an American football safety for the Pittsburgh Steelers of the National Football League (NFL). He played college football at North Carolina State University, and was drafted by the Minnesota Vikings in the seventh round of the 2017 NFL Draft.

Early years

Born in Gastonia, North Carolina, Tocho started playing football at age eight. He attended Independence High School, where he played cornerback, running back and safety for coach Bill Geiler. Tocho started at linebacker on varsity during his sophomore season because of a void at the position. In 2011, Tocho was moved back to cornerback for his junior year where he earned All-Southwestern Conference honors after ending the campaign with five interceptions, 28 pass breakups, 48 tackles, a forced fumble, a blocked kick, and two touchdowns on kickoff returns. During the summer, Tocho was timed at 4.49 in the 40-yard dash and recorded a 35.5-inch vertical jump at the Under Armour Combine, after checking in at 6'0" and 175 pounds.[1] As a senior, he was named Independence's 2012 Scholar Athlete of the Year and was named to the Associated Press All-State team after helping lead his team to a 10-3 record and second round of the state playoffs. He totalled 57 tackles (49 of them solo), six interceptions and returned three kicks for touchdowns in his final season.[2] Tocho also participated in track and field for the Patriots.[3]

Despite his combine numbers and on-field accomplishments, Tocho was an under the radar prospect and only NC State and Virginia expressed interest in him. After taking a visit to NC State, he committed to play college football for the Wolfpack on January 18, 2013.[4]

Professional career

Tocho ran a 4.54-second 40-yard dash at the 2017 NFL Combine.[5]

Tocho was the only player in the defensive back position group taken by the Vikings in the 2017 draft.[8] On September 2, 2017, Tocho was waived by the Vikings.[9] He was signed to their practice squad on September 20, 2017.[10] He was released on November 1, 2017, and was re-signed on November 14.[11][12] He was released again on December 12, 2017, but was re-signed three days later.[13][14] He signed a reserve/future contract with the Vikings on January 29, 2018.[15]

Personal life

Tocho's parents, David and Gertrude, immigrated to the United States from Kenya in pursuit of a better life.[22] His middle name, Zephania, comes from his paternal grandfather.

He earned his undergraduate degree in finance with a minor in accounting in just three years.
