Paul Tyson has the build, lineage and arm strength to be a big-time recruit.
Now, he just has to put it together.
Tyson is 6-foot-4 and 210 pounds. The Hewitt-Trussville quarterback is the great-grandson of legendary Alabama coach Paul "Bear" Bryant. The rising junior played junior varsity last season for Mountain Brook, but came to Trussville this semester.
He has very limited varsity experience, but is now more comfortable in his growing body and ready to not only win the starting job for the Class 7A Huskies, but show well for college coaches who will stop by and evaluate during Hewitt-Trussville's spring practices.
"There's a lot of coaches that will be watching Paul this spring," Hewitt-Trussville coach Josh Floyd said Monday. "They know about him, but they want to see him in a real life situation. I thought he came out here today and threw the ball really well."
The great grandson of Paul "Bear" Bryant is being coached by a former protege of Gus Malzahn, says he might consider going to Clemson and is visiting Notre Dame over spring break. College football recruiting is a crazy business in Alabama, but it has never seen anything quite like this.
Jacksonville State had a coach at Hewitt-Trussville's first practice on Monday. Kentucky, Alabama, Auburn, Troy, Clemson and others are expected.
Tyson has no offers yet, and still has to connect with some talented, but young receivers. He took two unofficial visits to Alabama and also went to Clemson, Notre Dame and Troy earlier this spring.
"They just love that I'm a drop back passer," Tyson said. "They want to see me throw in person because film only does so much. They want to feel me out here."
Tyson passes the eye test and should raise his stock this spring. He has gotten better with his speed, now running a 4.9 in the 40-yard dash, but wants to improve on his foot quickness and pocket elusiveness.
"The No. 1 thing he's got to do is get more comfortable throwing to these receivers," Floyd said. "It doesn't matter if it's Paul or whoever, we've got a new starting quarterback.
"The exciting thing is that Paul can make every throw. He has a big-time arm."
The last two starting quarterbacks at Hewitt-Trussville signed FBS scholarships in Zac Thomas (Appalachian State) and Connor Adair (Memphis).
Tyson's grandmother is Bryant's daughter. He embraces the attention that comes with the lineage. He was born nearly 20 years after the coach's death.
"To be honest, I don't feel pressure," Tyson said. "It's an honor and something I always thrive in. It's something great to have in my life."
Tyson has no summer visits scheduled yet, but will see which schools take interest this spring and look to perform at camps. If he's feeling the jitters, he hides it very well.
"That's just a challenge to me and I love a challenge," Tyson said. "Some people could be nervous from that, but I want to step up and thrive in it."
