Beaufort native Creig Tyler was a walk-on in 1966 and started every game as a guard for the next three seasons under head coach Red Parker. Selected as a co-captain for the 1969 season along with All-American John Small, Tyler earned first team All-Southern Conference and honorable mention All-America accolades after the 1969 season. Receiving the coveted Joe Missar Outstanding Offensive Lineman Award in 1969, Tyler blocked for all-league running backs Jim McMillan and Bob Duncan and record-setting quarterback Tony Passander. Tyler enjoyed a tremendous career in the South Carolina high school ranks as an assistant football coach and later as a principal, and served in leadership roles for more than two decades with the South Carolina High School League and the South Carolina Association of School Administrators.
