Jordyn Tyson Z
Born August 12, 2004 in Allen, Texas. Older brother Jaylon Tyson plays for
the Cleveland Cavaliers in the NBA; older brother Berron played at South Alabama and is now
their strength-and-conditioning coach.
HIGH SCHOOL: Allen HS (TX) freshman, sophomore, and senior years; Independence HS (Frisco,
TX) junior year. Senior season: 80 rec / 1,512 yds / 12 TDs. 4-star recruit.
COLLEGE: Started at Colorado in 2022 — nine games, 22 rec / 470 yds (team-leading) / 5 TDs.
Transferred to Arizona State that December. 2023 lost to injury (3 games, no catches).
Returned in 2024 as ASU's #1 WR. 2025: elite production as ASU's featured receiver in the
Big 12, followed by a heavy pre-draft workout tour.
DRAFT PROJECTION: Round 1, picks 15-25. Best intermediate + post-route WR in the class.
Worked out for teams six days before the draft. Jets at #16 (via IND) and Browns at #24 are
realistic fits — a Cleveland landing would reunite him with brother Jaylon at the Cavs.

NFL Pro Comparison
Puka Nacua — sudden, productive Z-receiver with YAC explosion and immediate Pro Bowl ceiling
Outcome Range

- Median: Pro Bowl WR1 — 1,200+ yard seasons
- Ceiling: All-Pro alpha if landing spot maximizes his intermediate strengths
Scheme Fit
Z-receiver in motion-heavy West Coast / Shanahan scheme; rewards quick-game RPOs and slants
