I was told by a Shepherd coach that during their pro day the scouts kept asking about the QB and finally the coaches had to tell them he was only a freshman. They were shocked! The kid is 6-3, 210 lbs and ran a 4.7 forty 3 times at fall camp(which would have put him in the top 10 at the NFL combine).
So your telling me he looked like a D1 QB Saturday(or against Mizz or in the bowl game)? Shoot it looks like they will play Trey this Saturday because he was not getting it done.
He may or may not be a D1 QB but offered as a linebacker which is joke. Instate kid that lite it the heck up in high school and you could not tell he was a linebacker or QB(and he never played linebacker). If he stays healthy Tyson will throw for almost 15,000 yards with around a 70% completion rate and get a real shot in the NFL. So get your popcorn and wait about three years because we will all find out if he can play in the on sundays.
If you read above Dana never gave him the choice. He could come to WVU and play linebacker which he had never played in his life. Also if you read above no one is saying he will be an NFL QB but he is going to get his shot. So we all will get our popcorn out and see. He will have the college resume, the body type, weight room numbers, forty times, a 3.8 GPA in Economics, and the work ethic of an NFL player. The question will be is his arm strong enough? Look at the attached video of his father and his work ethic to become world champion. Tyson works just as hard with the same passion.
I know after the fact WVU wished they had offered Tyson a QB walk-on slot and really treated him like they wanted him but it was to late.
a person in the recruiting department before they left said instead of a linebacker walk-on slot they wished they had offered it as a QB. Are you even reading the thread. The other dude posted above he spoke to a former D1 coach.
I was told that a former Sun Belt conference school coach that now coaches D2 said that Tyson could start for at least half of the Sun Belt schools as a true freshman.
Shepherd has a pro day every year. They put at least one guy every year in a camp mostly at a regional team. Two years ago they had two guys on the Eagles roster. So, yes, they have pro day because they have talent.
This person was in the recruiting department not a coach(and he is gone now). The discussion took place in the fall of last years so Tyson had just completed his freshman year. To late to bring him in
maybe, but he will get his shot at the NFL and we will all find out
Dana liked the kid, had him out for unofficial visits many times. Dana liked his Dad as well and when it was mentioned about the linebacker walkon it seemed everyone just stopped talking.
