The mass exodus of nearly 60 players out of Colorado is one that benefitted a lot of Power Five teams, and out of that group of transfers, Arizona State seemingly landed one of the best of that bunch. Wide receiver transfer Jordyn Tyson who, as a freshman for the Buffaloes in 2022, had 22 receptions for a team-leading 470 yards and five total touchdowns committed to the Sun Devils.

Ironically, Tyson's best game of his lone year in Boulder came in a 42-34 home loss to the Sun Devils. Following that contest, he was voted both Pac-12 Freshman of the Week and Special Teams Player of the Week thanks to his 115 receiving yards and a touchdown, as well as 131 punt return yards with a touchdown. That outstanding performance also had him enter the history books of the team as the first Colorado player to record 100 receiving yards and punt return yards in a single game. While Tyson played in only nine games due to a lower leg injury suffered in early November, he is expected to be in Tempe for summer workouts which begin on May 30th.

Tyson prepared at Texas powerhouse Allen High School, and he was a Top-100 prospect from that state in the 2022 class. In his senior season, he helped Allen to an 11-3 record and No. 8 ranking in the top division in Texas. That year he posted 80 catches for 1,512 receiving yards and 12 touchdowns.


Tyson, who has here years of eligibility left, visited Oklahoma prior to his Tempe visit last weekend and was one of the more coveted transfers of this spring portal period. At ASU, he does help bolster a unit that returns proven players such as Elijhah Badger and Gio Sanders and features a few newcomers who were some of the Spring standouts in Xavier Guillory, Troy Omeire, and Melquan Stovall.
