Looks like Tyler McCulloch's recruitment was slowed by an injury in September, 2010: lacerated spleen.
He came back in November, (remarkably so), in time for the state playoffs and had a great rest of season.
Eagles Rip Cougars in 5A Football Playoffs
Tyler McCulloch made a triumphant return, Chris Sedillo had a 128-yard night, Marcus Jaramillo couldn't miss in the clutch, and the Eldorado Eagles move on.
The Eagles overcame two first-half turnovers, including one inside Cibola's 1-yard line, and poured it on the 12th-seeded Cougars in the second half, taking a 28-7 decision in a first-round Class 5A playoff game Friday night at chilly Wilson Stadium.
The fifth-ranked Eagles (9-2) play at No. 4 Las Cruces (9-1) this coming Friday night at the Field of Dreams.
After a 7-7 game at halftime, Eldorado scored on its first three drives of the second half.
"In the first half, we had some red-zone fumbles, but we came in here, got focused, and did our thing," said the 6-foot-5 McCulloch, an outstanding receiver who saw his first action since lacerating his spleen and liver at Mayfield on Sept. 17. "If you let teams hang around, then there's a good chance you are gonna get beat."
Eldorado clearly missed McCulloch - no one more than Jaramillo, the Eagles' quarterback who had one of his best nights of the year, completing 19 of 30 passes for 288 yards and two touchdowns.
"I have to give all the credit to Marcus," said tight end Josh Day, who also benefited from McCulloch's return.
----another nice write-up on Tyler in a pre-playoff review of the Eldorado Eagles:
COULD VERY WELL WIN THE WHOLE THING, DON'T WRITE OFF
Is it fair to say that one player makes a team? No, however 6-foot-5, 200 pound receiver Tyler McCulloch makes the Eldorado Eagles that much better as he possesses an outside threat to free up their big ground game. With McCulloch missing the middle half of the season, Eldorado has been very one dimensional and has not been able to throw the football to free up the rushing attack. McCulloch will be back in a few weeks, which is great news for Eldorado. The defense is very good and they are led by 6-foot-4, 315 pound Willie Pounds and 6-foot-4, 310 pound Tyler Eschulmen. The twin duo makes for two of the biggest defensive tackles in the state. This team will be fine and don't be surprised to see them flying into the semifinals. This is one bird that is staying around through the winter.

Big, good hands, decent moves, not afraid to go over the middle, doesn't shy from contact. TE prospect, perhaps?
are those DT's any good? are they seniors?
edit: just watched the 2010 vids. Looked almost like the old dallas cowgirls flex defense.

We should have listened to Colorado fans.
Tyler's team lost in the state playoffs when a two-point conversion failed. Tyler McCulloch made the TD immediately prior, but was on the sideline when they went unsuccessfully for two. Had they kicked the XP, they would have tied, and gone into OT. Ouch.
Tyler McCulloch scored 4 touchdowns in the game, which ended 28-27 in favor of Las Cruces.
Eagles 'Devastated' as Late 2-Point Try Fails
New Mexico High Schools - Preps From the Newspaper By James Yodice / Journal Reporter Sat, Nov 20, 2010 LAS CRUCES - Another playoff visit to the Field of Dreams for the Eldorado Eagles ended with another playoff nightmare.
Marcus Jaramillo's 2-point conversion pass fell incomplete in the end zone with 1:18 remaining, and fourth-seeded Las Cruces escaped with a thrilling 28-27 victory Friday night in the Class 5A football quarterfinals.
"I'm completely devastated," Eldorado coach Charlie Dotson said. "I've never seen anything like that."
Jaramillo had thrown a 7-yard TD pass to Tyler McCulloch - McCulloch's fourth touchdown of the night - to bring fifth-seeded Eldorado (9-3) to within a point.
McCulloch, however, was on the sideline when Dotson opted to try for the go-ahead 2-point try instead of play for overtime.
"It was a surprise to me," said McCulloch, who earlier caught TD passes covering 53, 7 and 19 yards, one in each quarter. "But I can't complain. It was the right call."
Jaramillo rolled out and tried to hit Josh Day in the back of the end zone. But under pressure, he had to throw off his back foot. The ball never really had a chance of getting through.

A little surprised that UNM or NM St wouldn't take a chance on a kid like this. At the very least seems to be a guy you could use in red zone situations; he had some pretty nice one-handed grabs on his tape.
You bring up a great question -- why aren't NM and NMst onto this guy?Originally Posted by lawdogg
Tyler said before his senior year,
trivia: Defensive tackle Willie Pounds is/was one of Tyler's HS teammates.When asked what position he thought he fit in with at the D-I level McCulloch said, “I would like to play wide receiver, but I’m not sure I have the speed for it. Coaches including those here at UNM have told me I would make a nice slot TE, so we will see.”
Remember Pounds' last interview with Scout? Summer 2010:
Far as I can tell, Willie Pounds remains uncommitted to any college.“I’m headed up to Colorado tomorrow for a full contact camp up there,” said Willie. “I’ll be back down for one of the day camps to run for the coaches later this week.”
Colorado is hosting a team camp up in Boulder this week and Pounds told TheRedMenace.com “I expect to have an offer from Colorado after this weekend.”
Here's the allbuffs thread on Willie Pounds.

Mohawk FTMFW!!!
Decent ball skills, but he did not particularly wow me. Think we have enough athletes at TE on the team already.
Watched the film. He's definitely skilled as a pass catcher and runs good routes for a high schooler. I was surprised by the agility he showed and also that he's quick off the line (I expected such a tall guy to take a while to get up to speed).
It's going to be interesting to see if he is being looked at as a WR or as a guy we'd convert to TE. There was enough downfield blocking shown on his vids to make it clear he's not afraid to mix it up a bit. Either way, one thing that is clear is that this coaching staff puts a premium on giving its QBs big targets to throw to. I definitely agree with that philosophy. Not only does that make it easier to complete passes, but bigger receivers also make a big difference in the run game.
