Jeffersonville High School standout, Tyes McCondichie, has officially taken the next step in his athletic and academic career by signing with Mercyhurst University. A dynamic playmaker for the Red Devils, McCondichie made a significant impact during his senior season, notably leading the team in interceptions with four and showcasing his versatility as both a cornerback and wide receiver. His commitment to Mercyhurst marks a milestone for the program as the Lakers enter their Division I FCS era, with McCondichie joining a 2025 recruiting class that spans 15 states. He marks the first Red Devil to ink at the D1 college level in five plus years. His ability to produce big plays — demonstrated by his 120 all-purpose yards and a 68-yard interception return in a single game — makes him a promising addition to the Lakers' defensive backfield in Erie, Pennsylvania. SEASON STATS: 22 solo tackles, 13 assisted - 35 total tackles 4 interceptions 11 passes defended 51 return yards
