For the third year, the University of Redlands is joining hilinskishope Student-Athlete Mental Health Week to eliminate stigma and develop mental wellness programs for student-athletes. H3H does this by sharing Tyler’s story. 

Many describe Tyler as the happiest person in any room and on any field.  He always had a smile on his face and kind words for his friends and teammates.  Tyler threw his first touchdown at WSU as a red-shirt sophomore in the Arizona game, a 71-yard bomb to River Cracraft. But, perhaps Tyler will best be remembered for his play in the Boise State game. Ty was put into the game in the 4th quarter with less than 10 minutes to play and WSU was down 31-10.  Three overtimes later, Tyler threw the game winning touchdown to Jamal Morrow. WSU fans rushed the field and the WSU players hoisted Tyler on their shoulders. From that moment on, Ty became known as the “Comeback Kid”.

Just a few months later Tyler died by suicide on January 16, 2018.  Tyler never showed any signs of depression or struggle. On the day he passed he went to football practice at 7am but failed to show up for the team’s afternoon weight lifting session. 

It’s okay not to be okay. Asking for help is a strength.

❤️❤️❤️
