ASU Tyson earns AP Honors:
In his first full season with the Sun Devils, Tyson was electric in every sense in the word. In 12 games, the 21-year-old recorded 75 catches for 1,110 receiving yards and 10 touchdowns. In his final six games of his junior season, Tyson averaged 732 receiving yards and a touchdown a game to solidify his ranks as one of the best collegiate receivers in the nation.

The departure of last year’s Heisman finalists Cam Skattebo opens the door for quarterback Sam Leavitt and Tyson to fully take over ASU’s offense next season. Head coach Kenny Dillingham has had the team flushed the memories of last season success, but the Associated Press remembers the impact Tyson brought and will bring in 2025 for the Sun Devils.
