Ht/Wt: 6-3/269

Thoughts: Tyler is another player from St. X who joins his teammate and classmate Nathan Scheler (Day 63). Both will be walk-ons for the Cards in 2015. Tyler and Nathan played solid along the line last year for the Tigers leading them to the state semifinals and helping the team rush for over 1500yds. As an introduction to both gentlemen take a look at this interview prior to the Tigers 2014 season regarding expectations, talent, etc.

While I’m not sure if either will become a mainstay along the line I wish them the best of luck while at UofL. Often unappreciated, practice squad players and 3 deeps are very important in team development and preparation on a weekly basis. Glad to have them on board.

Sweet Tweet:

The lineman never get any credit..

Tyler retweeted this back in 2103. Don't worry man, I got you. On this countdown the 3^rd string lineman gets the same amount of time as the starting QB. Enjoy ‘Day 60’ my friend, you earned it.
