About Tyce
Expert Analysis
Alin Edouard | Prep Redzone Scout
Tyce is the type of player whose tape doesn’t need much explanation—he just makes you react. There are moments where the suddenness of his play jumps off the screen, whether it’s a quick burst, a sharp cut, or a big-time finish that shifts momentum instantly.
What makes him exciting is how often those impact plays show up. He doesn’t play in a straight line he plays with tempo changes and unexpected movement that keeps defenders off balance and creates openings where there shouldn’t be any. Tyce is a guy who can do it on both sides of the ball.
Tyce was offered by Michigan recently.

Read EvaluationAlin Edouard | Prep Redzone Scout
Tyce is a linebacker who plays with a physical edge and brings consistent energy to the heart of the defense. He shows a strong willingness to step downhill and attack the football, often triggering quickly once he identifies run action. Tyce competes with confidence in tight spaces, using his aggressiveness to disrupt plays early and limit momentum before it develops. His style of play is built on effort and toughness, which shows up in how he finishes tackles and stays engaged through contact.
What makes Tyce notable is how active he stays from snap to snap. He works hard in pursuit, showing the ability to chase plays sideline to sideline and stay involved even when the ball breaks outside his initial read. While he is still developing the finer details of his game, his motor and competitiveness allow him to make his presence felt in key moments.
