I feel like they can develop me, not just as a football player but as a young man as well.”<\/p>\n “I would say South Carolina and Florida State<\/a>,” Tyson said of the leaders in his recruitment. “I’ve been there a lot. Been there more than once. I feel like they develop running backs pretty well.”<\/p>\n Tyson is ranked as the No. 336 overall player and No. 16 athlete in the 247Sports composite.
