Senior Bowl Offensive Player of the Week; Earl Campbell Tyler Rose Award Player of the Week (honorable mention) – Jordyn Tyson
Sun Devil Football won their fifth game over an AP Top 25 team in the past two seasons when they defeated No. 24 TCU on Friday night.
Wide receiver Jordyn Tyson was a big reason why, as he put together another fantastic performance.
He exploded for eight catches for 126 yards and two touchdowns and proved to be nearly unguardable throughout the contest.
Tyson has now recorded at least two receptions in 17-straight contests, dating back to Aug. 31, 2024, when he hauled in four catches in Arizona State’s 48-7 win over Wyoming.
His second-quarter touchdown was 57 yards, the longest of his career. It came with the Sun Devils trailing 17-0 with 4:51 left in the first half and sparked the ASU comeback effort.
Tyson also secured the game-tying touchdown with 1:50 left in regulation on a fourth down conversion, evening the game at 24 and setting up for the Prince Dorbah strip sack which led to the Sun Devil victory.
He has now caught 10 touchdown passes in the final five minutes of a half in his career. When including a punt return for a score during the 2022 season, Tyson has 11 total touchdowns in the closing five minutes of either half.
Tyson’s fourth quarter score was his 10th touchdown in the fourth quarter of a game in his career (9 receiving, 1 punt return) – two more than any active player in the FBS.
He now has at least one receiving touchdown in his last six games played, dating back to the Sun Devils’ 49-7 win against Arizona on Nov. 30, 2024. He did not play in ASU’s Big 12 Championship or College Football Playoff games, thus not making it six consecutive games played.
Tyson has had five games in which he has caught multiple touchdown passes as a Sun Devil.
He now has eight games with 100 or more receiving yards as a Sun Devil.
Over his last 7 home games, he has posted three 100-yard games and is averaging 108.0 yards per game.
Tyson has accounted for 89 receptions for 1,215 yards and 14 touchdowns (110.5 ypg) over his last 11 games overall.
His seven touchdown receptions this season are tied for the most of any FBS player (Tennessee’s Chris Brazzell II).
Tyson has 483 receiving yards, the fifth-most of any FBS player so far this season.
His 39 receptions are tied for second nationally and he is averaging 7.8 receptions per game this season.
Tyson’s career mark of 4.7 receptions per game ties him for the fourth-best average among all active FBS players.
