Tyler McKinstry is a scrappy Toledo corner with special-teams grit and upside
In the 2025 season, Tyler McKinstry has been a steady rotational defender for Toledo, with six total tackles through the early part of the year and a 67 overall rating in EA Sports College Football 26. He stands out more for toughness, versatility, and special-teams value than splash plays right now; Toledo’s own roster notes he played in 10 games on special teams as a freshman, and his recruiting profile highlights return ability and a three-star background. At 5-foot-9, he fits best as a quick, competitive nickel or depth corner who can bring energy and reliability.
