Tyson is a competitive, big-play pass catcher who separates with springy, lightning-quick cuts as a route runner and brings the wingspan to come down with off-target throws. A transfer to Arizona State after playing one season at Colorado, he’s tall with a high-cut, muscular frame, and he moves with sudden burst and acceleration. He flashes the ability to shake tight coverage early in his route, using savvy footwork to cross up cornerbacks and get them spinning in place. He brings the flexibility and body control to twist and contort at the catch point, giving his quarterback a friendly target downfield. Tyson has shown the ability to concentrate through contact to see the ball into his hands, with just one drop in 2025. He climbs the ladder to go up high and snare throws in his area. He mainly plays outside but has seen snaps in the slot as well. He works hard at blocking and does well to lock in on corners and wall them off from the play. He got a little bit of experience as a kick and punt returner when he was at Colorado, including one punt return for a score. 

Teams will have to dig into Tyson’s injury history during the run-up to the draft. He missed all but three games in 2023 due to a serious knee injury, missed the final two games of the 2024 season with a collarbone injury, and then missed games again in 2025 with a hamstring injury. While he brings a big catch radius, his win rate in contested catch situations was underwhelming (he caught seven of 16 contested passes in 2025 and caught 22 of 42 of those passes in his college career, per PFF). On tape, there were times when he failed to position himself to make the play, and there were others when he struggled to play through contact. He may need to get stronger in the pros.
