The Skinny

AJC has reported that his grades may be an issue

The Analysis

There is no one in this defensive tackle class who can match Tyson’s quickness. His athleticism is also at the top of the tackle class. Tyson also shows the ability to get a solid pass rush, giving him the skill set needed to play on all three downs. That is a rare commodity. He also shows a real nice ability to slide through traffic, shedding blockers with strong hand technique.

There are few weaknesses in Tyson’s game. But he is a bit on the smaller side. Of course this gives him the ability to flow to the outside gaps better but might hurt him in goal line and short-yardage situations. His quickness will generally compensate for his size. As long he is not asked to play too much zero technique — head up on the center in a 3-4 scheme — he should be a huge factor on Georgia’s defensive line.
