led Liberty on a playoff run in his first year as their quarterback. Since then, he has been busy visiting several PAC-12 and Mountain West schools. Most recently, Tyrese visited Portland State, UNLV, and the University of Nevada. It is surprising to see one of Nevada’s most talented quarterbacks have no scholarship offers on his Twitter account. Expect that to change before his senior season ends.
Next level arm strength shows leading wide receivers over the middle when scrambling and throwing without proper footwork. Tyrese’s anticipation gets displayed delivering the ball in between zones over the middle, but poise and great ball placement shows standing tall and squeezing the ball into smaller holes near the sideline. Mobility shows evading pressure on bootlegs, while good decision-making shows as Tyrese consistently chooses the proper times to run or throw out of the pocket. Athletic ability and size suggest dual-threat potential in college, however Tyrese’s combination of arm talent, mobility, and eyes on the run suggest great extend ability at the next level.
