Arizona State wide receiver Jordyn Tyson is garnering a lot of attention as one of the best wide receivers in college football for this upcoming season.

Tyson is one of 10 talented wide receivers that fans should know. Scouts believe they will be selected in the 2026 National Football League Draft, according to a story by Max Chadwick of Pro Football Focus (PFF).

A former Colorado player, Tyson transferred to the Valley of the Sun to play for coach Kenny Dillingham and the Sun Devils. The Sun Devils posted a season for the history books as they went from 3-9 in 2023 to 11-3 last season, won the Big 12 title and earned a first-round bye in the college football playoff.

Tyson, a projected first-round pick in 2026, was a playmaker from the start in 2024 as he caught 75 passes for over 1,100 yards and 10 TDs. Tyson cracked the 100-yard mark five times last season, including three consecutive games in Weeks 10-12.

Tyson sat out the conference championship game vs. Iowa State and the playoff game against Texas after suffering an injury in the Arizona game. He received the all-clear from doctors and participated in spring practice for the Sun Devils.

Coach Dillingham has the culture and talented players like Tyson in place to potentially do what no Sun Devils football team has ever done before: win a national championship.
