Expert Analysis
Matt Morrow | Prep Redzone Scout
Tyler has done a great job not only as a lockdown defensive back but as a team leader for the Bulldogs, who are contending for a spot in the state playoffs. Tyler is committed to play college football at Elon College, and at 6’1 and 190 pounds, I expect he has a chance to get on the field sooner rather than later. He’s physically ready and excels in press coverage against wide receivers as a cornerback.

Tyler is a player I have been high on since selecting him to our 704 Junior Bowl series earlier this off-season. Tyler is strong at the line of scrimmage and can come up in run support with his linebacker experience in his past. Those talents along with his speed and agility helped him earn an offer from Concord University after his strong camp performance.

I don’t think many people know about Tyler, but after watching a bit of his highlight film, man, he is PHYSICAL as a player, that’s the first thing that stands out that I want to share. He’s listed as a linebacker here, but he actually played more corner this past season, which is why I have him here for the Junior Bowl selection. Tyler also showed he has some good long speed in covering wide receivers downfield. Butler also blitzed him from depth, and he really showed some explosive speed in this role, making a couple of big highlight plays for sacks. Tyler was offered by the previous Charlotte staff, but with a strong offseason he should jump on to some more school’s radars.
