I wonder if we will consider bringing him in to compete in the off-season

doubt it......

I know he could probably go to Pitt thoughh as its the offense they run there he may be able to do work there if he was to go up a level.

A good friend of mine coached against him and texted me to watch him play so I’ve watched him live twice this year, once in person. The accuracy is legit. He just doesn’t miss. He’s not a first-read guy either. He goes through progressions and throws off platform as well as anyone. Every throw has perfect touch and tempo, which makes life easy for his receivers. They get tons of YAC because the ball is always right where it needs to be.

He also gives you that extra element as a runner. He’s a throw-first player, but he’ll extend plays and pick up yards without being reckless. He protects himself. His deep ball is really nice. It’s not explosive, but the accuracy down the field is crazy. Beautiful bucket throws. He plays on schedule and has elite instincts and feel for the position. He looks like a tremendous leader on the field and has full command of his offense.

Concerns:
-He’s small. Like noticeably small. Honestly looks shorter than 5’11.
-He doesn’t have much zip. The arm strength limits the offense. Anything to the field is basically off the table. That’s pick-six territory.
-How will his arm work in the elements? We play in rain, win, cold and snow.
-The whole offense would need to shift. It would have to become a true Air Raid. That might actually be a positive because it fits Lyle and Ridley even better.
-His receivers are running wide open in his current system. He almost never has to throw into coverage. It could be because he’s so on time and so accurate that he makes it look easy.
-He has to load up on anything intermediate or deep. He needs time to set his feet. The ball still comes out on time, so it’s not always a huge issue.

My Comp is smaller Bryce Young

-He probably wins a Heisman with Leach. I’m barely joking. Mali might win one with him too.

-I’d bring him in and work him out in person to see the arm up close.

-Bringing him home would be a great story. The community would love it. It would help with recruiting elite receivers since you get him for two years. And the offense would be a blast to watch.

No...and ive known him since he was 10 or 11.

Hes a perfect fit for their offensive scheme and Pitts offense.

Last time i saw Tyger i almost asked him if he was still playing....he's 5'10 175 tops.

Love the kid and the numbers he is putting up there at WCU.

SIAP.

Wonder if the UM Staff saw any VT players of interest as they auditioned against us last Saturday? Reportedly, it has been open season on that roster (prolly why they got Franklin signed).

Hmmm… Western Carolina, I’d guess Fran Brown is taking a look too (one of my teammates from middle school played with Fran at Western Carolina)
