Tyson showcases a vertical-first profile on tape against TCU, complemented by functional intermediate work and red-zone utility. He threatens off the line, sells a double move to win deep, and tracks/catches in stride—true field-stretcher traits. Between the numbers, he shows hands and concentration, and at the boundary, he’s crisp on the break, presenting a clean, friendly window. In tight space, the angle route shows short-area separation and finish.
Usage / Alignment: Predominantly wide right with one slot-right rep noted. Concepts: deep corner, 15-yard in, double move/go, angle in tight red zone.
Film Review – Key Plays
Play 1) 9:58 1Q, 3rd & 3 – 25 Yard Catch (Penalty – holding; play negated)
Slot right on a deep corner; Tyson makes the cut in the second level, finds the soft spot in the zone, and the ball arrives perfectly as coverage tightens. He secures it at the sideline and gets a foot down before momentum carries him out. The hold on the O-line negates the gain, but this is a rep that doesn’t show up in the scorebox.
Play 2) 3:11 1Q, 1st & 15 – 15 Yard Catch
Aligned wide right on a 15-yard in; the throw is slightly out in front, so he has to extend, leaving his feet, and completes the catch going to the ground. It’s concentration and frame strength on a less-than-perfect ball at the point of the catch, absorb the fall, and turn a behind-the-sticks snap into a manageable next down.
Play 3) 5:00 2Q, 3rd & 2 – 55 Yard TD Catch
Wide right; he sells the initial stem, hits a double move off the line, gains a step or two on the corner, and catches the pass in stride at the 20, then outruns both the corner and safety to the end zone. This is the vertical calling card: release to create separation and top-end speed after the catch.
Play 4) 1:53 4Q, 4th & Goal – 5 Yard TD Catch
Wide right on an inside angle route; he wins with clean separation, tracks the throw in the back of the end zone, and completes the catch for the touchdown. Redzone ability shows up—paced stem to threaten outside, sharp inside break to break away from the defender, late hands, and end-line awareness to finish in tight space to score on 4th down.
Final Thoughts
This game checks the boxes for a field-stretcher who can also work the intermediate and finish in the red zone. The 55-yard TD shows real speed & tracking; the 4th-and-Goal angle is short-area separation with hands. Add the diving 15-yard in and a negated sideline corner, and you’ve got a guy who can win all over the field.
Strengths on Display
Vertical Separation: Vertical speed. He sells the double move at the line and maintains stride so the ball can hit him in stride.
Hands & Adjustment: Trustworthy catcher—extends, frames the ball, and completes the pass going to the ground or at the boundary.
Redzone Route Craft: Understands pace and leverage in tight space—creates an opening for the QB and finishes.
Clutch Impact: Shows up when the down/distance matters. Can flip a drive with one play or finish it in the redzone.
Areas for Improvement
Route Tree Sample: Mostly lined up on the right side. It’s a little nitpicky, but would like to see more left-side and varied route tree.
YAC Through Contact: More something to monitor, but how does he do in tighter coverage, and can he add yards after the catch through contact?
