Tyvon Pate is going to be a monster this summer. He is putting together an amazing offseason. His performances in the weight room have rewritten the record books at Fond du Lac HS. These years of showing up are going to culminate in Ty proving that he is a matchup nightmare in the trenches. Turn on the tape and you will get a great sense of what is to come. While 6’2″ 230 lbs isn’t the most imposing DL frame, it is amazing watching Ty be able to fire out of his stance, get hands on, and flex his strength as he tosses big OL aside early in the play. He can also fire off the line with violence and collapse the pocket from the edge. That weight room strength has also aided his quickness and burst off the snap. Tap into the highlights. Things are starting to roll for him too as he just earned his first offer from Minot State.

Ty might be my favorite weight room warrior in the state. The kid puts up unreal numbers every offseason and it has translated to yearly growth and development at an exponential rate. His junior season tape is electric. He may only be 6’2″ but that hasn’t hurt him on the DL. You see the power in his hands to instantly toss OTs aside when he finds the ball. His closing speed in the backfield jumps off the tape. The use of leverage is fantastic and paired with his raw strength has made him a force that can collapse the pocket with his bull rush. So many of his strengths and best highlights stem from years of dedication in the weight room, and he isn’t slowing down yet. I can only imagine how violent he will be as a senior.

Stats: 4.5 Tackles, 2 TFLs

Tyvon flashed throughout the night. It is clear that the impressive weight room numbers from the offseason are translating to the field. He was driving OTs into the backfield or shedding blocks and making stout tackles. The junior DL consistently found ways to get into the backfield and cause disruption, even if he didn’t make the tackle. Ty is a violent DL who plays with his hands, leverage, and the mentality needed to live in the trenches.
