Tennesse Titans Head Coach Mike Vrabel has plenty to celebrate with a successful season and playoff run. However, his successes aren’t the only ones he is celebrating, as his son Tyler Vrabel committed to Boston College in June of 2017 and played his first season as a redshirt freshman in 2019.
Tyler has big shoes to fill, as his father has some outstanding accomplishments under his belt. Mike Vrabel won All-American honors as a linebacker at Ohio State University, was named Big Ten Defensive Lineman of the Year for two years in a row, and played a whopping 14 years in the NFL, bringing home three Super Bowl rings in the process.

During his true freshman year, Tyler Vrabel played two games before redshirting the rest of the 2018 season. He got his first real taste of action as a redshirt freshman in the 2019 season. Vrabel played his first starting snap against Virginia Tech at the end of August and played all 77 snaps in the game.
Vrabel had a strong 2019 season, playing and starting in all 12 games on the season. Additionally, he helped anchor a BC o-line that ranked third nationally in sacks allowed and sixth in rushing offense. For his success, The Athletic named Vrabel to their Freshman All-American team.
