The 6-foot-5, 295-pound Tisdale is unrated by the major recruiting services, but was being contended for by a handful of Power-5 programs. A sophomore at Lackawanna Community College in Scranton, Pa., Tisdale was offered first by the Orange on Oct. 11 before a group including West Virginia, Pittsburgh, Arkansas and Rutgers followed suit.

Tisdale previously attended South Brunswick (Monmouth Junction, N.J.) High School, where he overlapped with SU senior running back Dontae Strickland.
