Weeks after Arizona State running back Cam Skattebo was drafted by the New York Giants, his teammate Jordyn Tyson is getting a lot of love as one of the nation’s top wide-receiving prospects for 2026.
But unlike the running back’s Day 3 draft status, Tyson is being looked at as a clear Day 1 pick by Pro Football Focus’ Max Chadwick.
Tyson broke out in a big way with the Sun Devils in 2024, tallying (1,101) yards as a redshirt sophomore. The only returning Power Four receiver who posted more was Jeremiah Smith.
Something clicked for the Colorado transfer in the second half of the campaign. In Arizona State’s final six games of the regular season, Tyson led the nation with 729 receiving yards and ranked second in the Power Four with 4.03 yards per route run. He is an elite separator who is also outstanding in contested situations, hauling in 67% of his contested targets last year.
It was a season to remember for the wideout, who along with his receiving yards set career highs in catches (75) and touchdowns (10).

There’s a reason why Tyson is viewed as a top 15 pick in early 2026 mock drafts and why he and quarterback Sam Leavitt are considered by Chadwick as the top quarterback-receiver combo in college football.
Arizona State fans hope that thinking comes to fruition following a surprise run to the College Football Playoff in head coach Kenny Dillingham’s second season that nearly saw the program quadruple its win total (11-3) from the year prior (3-9).
What to watch for in Jordyn Tyson’s return to action in 2025
The big thing to watch for Tyson in 2025 will be his health.
He bounced back from a knee injury that sidelined him for most of 2023 but ended last season on the shelf with the shoulder issue suffered in the final regular season game against Arizona.
Tyson was 100% cleared ahead of Arizona State’s spring camp, but did deal with an ankle issue early on. He eventually got back to linking up with Leavitt once more on the Tempe practice fields.
