Matt Tyner was in the Towson University cafeteria this past fall when head football coach Rob Ambrose said he may have a surprise for the head baseball coach.
Tom Flacco, the Tigers' starting quarterback, was thinking about playing baseball. Playing two sports had tempted the 2018 Colonial Athletic Association Offensive Player of the Year since his days taking snaps at Western Michigan and Rutgers. But competing on the football field, not the baseball diamond, took precedence when Flacco brought up the conversation.
This time, though, Flacco had Ambrose's approval, and Tyner was intrigued.
