Tyler, a native of Moore, became one of Skip Johnson's reliable arms as a starter and out of the bullpen. As a freshman, Tyler only appeared in seven games, making three starts and allowing four earned runs over 17 innings pitched. He made 13 appearances as a sophomore with 10 starts, going 0-3 with a 5.15 ERA.
In 2018, Tyler was a mid-week starter and a key cog in the Sooner bullpen towards the end of the season. He made 19 appearances with nine starts, recording a 5-2 record with a 2.84 ERA in 63 1/3 innings.
