According to The Hollywood Reporter, “Friday Night Lights” star LaMarcus Tinker will join “Glee” as Mercedes’ boyfriend in the the fall.
Tinker will play a linebacker on McKinley High’s football team.
This new move goes in line with “Glee” creator Ryan Murphy’s bid to highlight more of the cast. “I don’t think there’s been enough Amber,” he said.
