Mike Tyson was a four-star prospect coming out of high school and one of the more tantalizing secondary additions made by Tommy Tuberville during his tenure as head coach.
Tyson made an immediate impact as a freshman and stoked the flames of hype surrounding his talent. He played in nine games in 2013 and although he only had 18 total tackles and limited snap counts, he still collected two interceptions, a skill he had mastered in high school. After all, in his senior season at Lake Taylor High School in Virginia he grabbed eight interceptions.
However, it was not until his senior season this past year that Tyson really became the impact defender that he showed flashes of becoming as a freshman.
