The all-time great player for the Texas Longhorns has formally declared his retirement due to her husband, which is causing…

It remains to be seen how much Willie Tyler plays for one of the most illustrious college football schools in the country this autumn.

Say this much for the 2017 graduate of Racine Lutheran High School in the interim: He definitely has his act together.

Tyler has not only earned a jump start in his academic career after one season at the University of Texas, but he has also attained a 3.1 grade point average. He is preparing himself for success in the unlikely event that he decides against pursuing a career in football by majoring in physical culture and sport and intending to get a master’s degree in communications.

Tyler, who plans to graduate in May of next year, isn’t going to let that happen if he doesn’t give it his all. He will give it his all to gain a starting position anywhere along the offensive line for the Longhorns, assuming there is a season this fall, at the weight of 331 pounds and six feet seven inches.

In his lone season at Iowa Western Community College in 2018, he switched from being a defensive lineman at Lutheran to an offensive lineman. After that season, Tyler performed so well at a position he had been hesitant to try that Texas—a school that has won four national titles and produced two Heisman Trophy winners—offered him a scholarship.

He’s taken full advantage of it. Tyler has positioned himself to be a force this autumn after working closely with offensive line coach Herb Hand and participating in Longhorns practices in 2019.

“I’m way further ahead than I was a year ago,” said Tyler, a sophomore who still has three seasons of eligibility left at Texas. After playing a year of juco last year, I felt like I was ahead of the curve at this point.

“But coach Hand really broke down the playbook a lot more when I came here, and I realized there were a lot more game fundamentals than I realized.” I gained knowledge of base blocks, double teams, blitz technique, setting, and player tendencies.

And although though I still have a lot of work to do to attain my goal, I feel like I’ve come a long way from where I was before.

Anybody who wants to play collegiate football at this level has significant challenges. It proved to be maybe Tyler’s largest commitment to yet.

“It takes more work than I anticipated,” he remarked. It’s really challenging to play at this level given the training, fitness, early wake-ups, watching film both with and without the coaches, maintaining a social life, and maintaining good grades.

You can easily become disoriented and confused if you don’t have the correct support system in place. Additionally, getting back on the correct path may take some time.

At any point during practice, a player of this caliber could have his confidence undermined. Tyler experienced that same fate previous season when facing Malcolm Roach, a 6-2, 290-pound player who went on to start for the Longhorns for four years.

Tyler and Roach, who combined for three sacks in the previous season, were on good terms at first. Then, as Tyler attempted to compel Roach to enter, Roach grabbed Tyler’s wrist and restrained him.

We were doing one-on-one drills, and I cross-train as an offensive tackle and guard,” Tyler explained. “After one rep, it was virtually a draw. We returned, and this time, I set and he defeated me. I had never actually seen a move like that before. I was pretty much unable to stop him once he started moving.

Everyone gets beaten, so there were no bitter feelings afterward. All you have to do is reassess, study some film, and see what you can improve on, such as throwing a punch or a set that is more forceful. That was undoubtedly one of his times of dominating me.
