Amir Tyler brings veteran, captain-level reliability to Temple’s secondary
Amir Tyler is a seasoned Temple safety who earned preseason All-AAC recognition in 2021 and was named a team captain, a strong sign coaches trusted his toughness, communication, and buy-in. In the 2021 season, he piled up 77 tackles and added 2.5 tackles for loss, showing he could both clean up plays and support the run. Earlier, he led Temple’s defense with 54 tackles in 2019 despite starting only the final seven games, which hints at a late-blooming, high-effort defender. If you want a physical, experienced back-end stabilizer with leadership chops, Tyler fits the bill.
