explosive USC back with big-play juice and a checkered off-field history
In the 2011 season, Marc Tyler was USC’s leading rusher with 913 yards and 9 touchdowns on 171 carries, showing power, burst, and enough receiving value to keep defenses honest.[12][15] He also posted a strong career average of 5.2 yards per carry and 17 total touchdowns at USC, which points to a back who could create chunk plays when given space.[2][10] The caution flag: his college career included multiple disciplinary issues and suspensions, so the talent is clear, but the fit depends on how much a team values upside versus reliability.[3][6][7]
