Rutgers football is looking to address needs along the offensive line with help this offseason via the transfer portal. Two of those pieces could be on campus this weekend.
‘Rutgers Wire’ has learned from a source close to the situation that Willie Tyler is on an official visit to Rutgers this weekend. The source said that Tyler’s visit will last till Sunday.

Earlier this week, Tyler spoke to ‘Rutgers Wire’ about what he is looking for in a program:
“I mean really just the school that can help me get to goals. I want to play in the NFL, I’m looking at the type of offense they run, strength staff, nutritionists,” Tyler said. “Some places, I know the players so I’m calling them.”
Rutgers has needs along the offensive line and is looking to add at least two offensive lineman via the transfer portal this offseason. Offensive lineman Miles Frazier, a standout at FIU this season, is expected to take an unofficial visit to Rutgers on Saturday.
Tyler is racking up a number of offers including Minnesota and SMU on Friday.
