He's selfishly my absolute favorite recruit to watch. Tyree is a tough two-way player for North Allegheny. He brings brings NFL DNA to the field, thanks to his dad Tyson, who rocked the DL in the NFL. Now, why do I absolutely adore Alualu? First off, those NFL genes didn't skip a beat with Tyree. His defensive game mirrors the rough and violent style that made his pops, Tyson, a force with the Pittsburgh Steelers. Ty glides laterally, chasing down ball carriers, showcasing that killer athletic prowess. And when he blitzes, it's not just about hurrying the QB; it's a reckless abandonment that keeps offenses on their toes. Check out his sheer strength, forcefully separating RBs from the ball in bone-crushing hits. Ty's not just a player; he's a playmaker, causing turnovers and wreaking havoc with open-field tackles. Alualu has FBS offers from Oregon, Cincinnati, San Diego State, Toledo, James Madison and Miami, Oh to name a couple of the programs. u003c/spanu003eu003c/pu003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-657499a1796ad"} /--> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/CameronChmura/status/1673436157076439043","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/CameronChmura/status/1673436157076439043 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["147895"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"u003cdiv class=u0022flex-shrink-0 flex flex-col relative items-endu0022u003eChmura received offers from D1 programs such as Kent State, UMASS, Western Michigan, Air Force, Akron, Lehigh, Dartmouth, and Cornell before ultimately choosing Marshall.

In terms of pass protection, he demonstrates solid footwork and punch while consistently establishing proper hand placement on blocks. Executing zone and down blocks, he shows talent and maneuverability, sealing off running lanes with impressive fluidity through tight spaces.
