Senior Jeremy Tyler - WVU's Handyman

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. - When I think of West Virginia University senior safety Jeremy Tyler, I think of my uncle Bryl, one of the handiest people I know.

If there is something that needs built or fixed, old uncle Bryl is the first person we usually call.

Those build-it-yourself furniture pieces from Ikea? Bryl is the person who always follows the directions to the letter and completes the task the way it is supposed to be completed - without leaving any spare pieces.

He’s a true Picasso with a crescent wrench.

Me? I learned early in life from my late father that if something can’t be fixed with a hammer then it can’t be fixed.
