JORDYN TYSON DECLARES FOR THE 2026 NFL DRAFT
Updated: Oct 31
Arizona State standout wide receiver Jordyn Tyson has officially announced his entry into the 2026 NFL Draft, bringing an end to a collegiate career that was as brief as it was impactful. In just two seasons with the Sun Devils, Tyson established himself as one of the most dangerous playmakers in college football, to the point where he is now widely projected as a top-10 pick in the upcoming draft.
A transfer from Colorado, the Allen, Texas native quickly transformed the identity of Arizona State’s offense. Over his two seasons in Tempe, Tyson totaled 136 receptions for 1,812 yards and 18 touchdowns, numbers that reflect both his consistency and his ability to deliver in critical moments. His breakout came in 2024, when he posted 1,101 receiving yards and 10 touchdowns, earning Big 12 Offensive Newcomer of the Year honors.
The 2025 season further confirmed his status, despite more challenging circumstances. Limited by a lingering hamstring injury, Tyson missed several games but still produced 61 catches for 711 yards and eight touchdowns, including four 100-yard performances. His influence went well beyond the stat sheet: whether lined up outside or in the slot, he stood out for his precise route running, explosive yards after the catch, and natural feel for timing in the red zone.
A two-time Associated Press All-American (third team), Tyson is not expected to suit up for the Sun Bowl against Duke, a logical decision given his professional future. Attention now shifts to the pre-draft process, where his speed, versatility, and football IQ could make him one of the first wide receivers selected on draft night.
