As we continue through the offseason, Roll Tide Wire has decided to bring fans a quick snapshot of each scholarship player listed on Alabama’s 2020 football roster.
Each day, we’ll release anywhere from 2-4 player profiles giving fans a glimpse into the players who will be available this upcoming season. Whether that’s size, classification, hometowns or recruiting rankings coming out of high school, we’ve got you covered.
Also included in each article is a quick recap letting you know what to expect from that player for the upcoming 2020 season and beyond.
Next up on the list is redshirt freshman quarterback Paul Tyson out of Trussville (Ala.).
Paul Tyson, Quarterback
Height: 6-5 / Weight: 220
Class: Redshirt Freshman
Hometown: Trussville (Ala.)
High School: Hewitt-Trussville High School
HS ranking (247Sports): 4-star / No. 321 overall / No. 12 PS-QB / No. 12 ALA
HS ranking (Rivals): 4-star / N/A overall / No. 10 PS-QB / No. 11 ALA
Analysis: With the news that Taulia Tagovailoa has entered the transfer portal, Paul Tyson is now Alabama’s third-string quarterback as we get closer to the 2020 season.
There is some concern with amongst fans due to Tyson’s lack of experience, but similarly to Mac Jones, Tyson was a well-respected high school quarterback prospect who held offers from LSU, Michigan, Notre Dame, USC and others.
Being Paul “Bear” Bryant’s great grandson adds a layer to Tyson’s storyline, but he can be so much more than that before it’s all said and done. A valuable piece of the Tide’s depth at the most important position on the field, expect the 6-foot-5, 220-pound signal caller to continue to work towards adding experience.
