Texas State safety Tyler Chase brings special-teams grit and back-line versatility
Tyler Chase is a former Texas State safety whose value was built on toughness, special-teams impact, and a blue-collar willingness to do the dirty work. In his Texas State career, he appeared in 11 games as a true freshman in 2011, logged two solo tackles, blocked a punt, and even added a 15-yard punt return, with a season-high three tackles at McNeese State. He profiles as the kind of player coaches trust for effort, discipline, and hustle more than flash—useful if a team wants a steady, team-first defensive back who can help on coverage units and in the room, not just on the stat sheet.
