Jordyn Tyson Named to Preseason Watch List

Tyson is joined by fellow elite receivers such as Ohio State's Jeremiah Smith, Alabama's Ryan Williams, and Indiana's Elijah Sarratt as players with a legitimate chance to win the award.

The junior's path to stardom has been a fascinating one, as the former three star recruit transferred to Arizona State after 2023 spring camp at Colorado - the wideout sat out of the entire 2023 season before hitting the ground running to begin last season under the guidance of former Super Bowl winner Hines Ward.

The Texas native went from promising big-play threat to genuine threat anywhere on the field behind his near-instant connection with Leavitt, learning the intricacies of the position under Ward, and becoming more well-rounded as a player.

Now, Tyson can be lined up anywhere at the line of scrimmage, run virtually any route tree that is drawn up for him, provide consistent blocking support when asked of him, and seems to have a knack to secure game-changing scores on a regular basis.

Whether Tyson wins the award or not - he is set to be a first round pick in Next April's draft if everything goes according to plan.
