Willie Tyler Schedules Virtual Visit with Syracuse

Texas offensive lineman transfer Willie Tyler has scheduled a virtual visit with Syracuse, he told AllSyracuse.com on Friday. Tyler was offered by the Orange in January. 

"It's a virtual visit," Tyler said. "I believe some coaches will be on. It's at 3pm on Monday." 

Tyler also said that he has started hearing from Baylor and Tennessee recently. 

Tyler is a graduate transfer but has three years of eligibility remaining. Tyler is listed at 6-7, 335 pounds. Tyler played tackle at the junior college level but was considered a guard for the Longhorns. Syracuse is likely looking at him as a tackle. He also reports an offer from Arkansas State.

"I have interest in them," Tyler said after receiving an offer last month. "They have a good sports management program. I'm looking forward to getting to know more of the staff as this goes on."

Tyler signed with Texas out of Iowa Western Community College in the 2019 recruiting cycle. He redshirted as a sophomore in 2019, and opted out in 2020 due to concerns regarding the coronavirus pandemic. Therefore Tyler never even played a down for Texas but is transferring out with the Longhorns change in their coaching staff. Tyler was expected to compete for a starting guard spot before opting out of last season.

As a junior college prospect, Tyler picked Texas over Louisiana Tech, SMU and West Virginia.

Mike's career started with his own free blog as a way to vent following sporting events. Shortly thereafter, a network of basketball sites called Coast 2 Coast Hoops asked him to run their Syracuse site.

Mike oversaw the transition from Scout to 247Sports, and ran the site on that network for years.  Presented with the opportunity to join one of the biggest names in the sports journalism industry, Sports Illustrated, Mike jumped at the chance. All Syracuse was started from scratch by Mike and the Fan Nation team. It has now become a staple for Orange fans of various sports.  Mike has broken news on recruiting, Syracuse basketball and football team information and has established himself as the top recruiting inside in the market.
