Former Texas OL Willie Tyler transfers to Rutgers

Rutgers has added a fourth offensive lineman out of the transfer portal in less than a week as Willie Tyler announced his decision to join the program on Wednesday.

The 6’7”, 330 pounder is originally from Racine, Wisconsin and played tackle for Iowa Western Community College out of high school. He transferred to Texas in 2019 where he redshirted that fall and then opted out of the 2020 season due to the global pandemic COVID-19. Tyler left Texas after the previous coaching staff was replaced last year

After originally set to join Syracuse, he ended up at Louisiana-Monroe this past season.
