Highlights

Seems to have caught attention. In this age of transfer portal where you either use or lose players hopefully he can see the field early and be an impact player, has the size already.

Nice get for UCONN! Welcome to the team!

 

[DoctorWho85]

Welcome to pound.

That is a really impressive offer list. Sure the teams aren't the best of the best in the FBS, bu winning over Colorado, Missouri, Mississippi and Purdue is not easy to do.

 

[PlayItLeo]

Love this - it helps patch some holes in the secondary now that we're losing MBW and MDW at CB. Solid size for a CB too if he's truly 6'2", 185lbs.

 

[ZooCougar]

Very Very Very good pickup.

 

[UCFBfan]

Welcome Tyjai!! Thought we would see mostly portal commits from here on our but this kid looks legit!! Welcome to the pound!

 

[HuskyAlum012]

6 of 13 commits for next year have multiple P5 offers. This is good.

 

[huskymedic]

Solid genes… would seem that it speaks volumes about the staff that he chose UConn.

Interesting...Mora said he was done recruiting high school. I would guess this is a surprise...a very good surprise.

Lots of opportunity to play immediately. Welcome aboard Tyjai!

 

[coachcap]

Love the addition. Welcome!
Coach Mora said in a recent press conference that the staff was done this cycle with recruiting high school seniors & would concentrate on the transfer portal. Surprise!

Great news and welcome!!!

I like the fact Tyjai is 6'2". Makes the window for completions smaller and is an asset in endzone pass D . Welcome aboard.

Normally I would be excited about this addition but times have changed. If he's any good how long will he be here?
