I love what I’ve seen out of Tyson on film. As football continues to change and some positions around the country get on heaters in terms of popularity, Tyson has opened my eyes as an Edge defender. Not necessarily and Outside Linebacker, but not a Defensive End either. On tape, he’s explosive and strong, which allows him to almost spring into the backfield off the snap. He plays Running Back on the offensive side of the ball and with that, comes excellent feet and quickness. In talking with our WV Prep Hoops counterparts, Tyson plays the same physical and hard-nosed style on the basketball court.
