Pre-season report:
Marc Tyler was a highly touted RB from Oaks Christian high school. His QB at Oaks was Jimmy Clausen. He was supposed to be a major force for the Trojans for years to come. Unfortunately, things don’t always work out the way we intend for them. This rings especially true for Mark. He suffered a broken leg while in high school and had to have a rod surgically placed in his leg causing him to redshirt the 07 season. He continued to suffer injuries during his time at SC up until last year. He finally became healthy and was given his shot. He did not disappoint. Tyler rushed for 913 yards and 9 touchdowns, impressive numbers for a guy who shared carries with 2 other backs. Tyler has a lot to prove this year and he already is missing time due to a hamstring injury. However, once he is healthy, expect him to make a significant contribution for the Trojans. He displays good speed and vision. He has a lot of potential, but the key for him is his health. I would project him as a mid round selection as of today, but that is certainly going to change between now and draft season.
