My guess is he'd have two years of eligibility if he wants it. Diego Pavia got an injunction allowing him to play and not count his JUCO time for college eligibility because it took away his opportunity to earn NIL. The NCAA gave a blanket waiver to grant an additional year of eligibility to former JUCO transfers while they appeal. But the NCAA loses every case, so no reason to believe they won't lose future JUCO eligibility claims.

Tyrece is a really nice kid and a good athlete. He bounced around a bit at Penn State between S and LB which probably hurt his development. Regardless you are getting a guy who can help you immediately on special teams and depending on what your depth chart looks like at S as well. He'll provide toughness around the LOS as a willing tackler.

Not that high school rankings matter anymore for him, but in 2022 as a recruit, he was the #2 prospect from PA and #21 nationally according to 247, and #24 nationally according to Rivals.

LET'S GOOOOO!!!

Ask anyone who saw that commercial, they absolutely hate it. I was a young alum back then. It was brutal commercial.
