The Cowboys have picked up a second Big 12 transfer from the Sunflower State, and he too has experience with Eric Morris.
Tyler Mercer is a 6-foot-4, 300-pound center who played at Kansas this past season but spent 2024 at North Texas with Oklahoma State’s new coach. 247Sports’ Chris Hummer reported the news of Mercer’s commitment.
On3 considers Mercer the No. 185 player in the transfer portal and the No. 11 interior portal lineman.
He played in three games for the Jayhawks this season, maintaining a redshirt. That means he’ll have three years of eligibility remaining.
