Tyler Yoder '25 Recruiting Profile

I first started playing football at the age of 6 with my Dad as my coach.  After scoring my first touchdown, I instantly fell in love with football.  This game has helped me develop and become a more disciplined and hardworking young man.  I want to play football in college because it has been my dream since I was little and I also know that playing football in college is a reflection of the real world; working hard, teamwork and discipline will help me become a successful adult. I lost my senior year of HS football as I broke my ankle during my first game.  While this was a huge setback for me, especially from a mental aspect, I am using this experience to grow as a person and athlete. I will come back stronger.  "Resilience" is guiding word.  I was recently asked by a recruiter how I felt about football, even with the season ending injury, my response to Coach was that I love football.
