Key Attributes:
Leadership: On a team with the nation's leading rusher it was indicative of Tyler's leadership that when he was out the team went 1-3. The coaches and players will attest that Tyler was their on field leader, the player they all looked to when it mattered. He lead the team to their first Big East Championship as a Junior and a bowl win vs. Buffalo as a Senior.
Athleticism: Iowa State wanted him to move to WR. His 40 time as a Junior 4.54 (and best documented time of 4.47) combined with his scrambling ability will make any defense take into account his mobility.
