Hello: Tyree Holder

RECRUITING GURU RATINGS

Rivals	Scout	ESPN
2*, NR	2*, NR	2*, 74, #111 CB

The experts are largely in agreement about Tyree’s abilities, with ESPN as usual being the most optimistic and having him as a high two-star with praise for his instincts. All three sites differ however on his height and his weight. ESPN lists him at 5’10″ and 155 pounds, Rivals lists him at 6’1″ and 165 pounds, and Scout lists him at 6’0″ and 160 pounds. I’ll split the difference and say he’s 6’0″ and 160 pounds.

OFFERS

Tyree chose Ball State over offers from Bethune-Cookman, Central Michigan,  Georgia Southern, North Carolina Central, Stony Brook, Toledo, and Washington State. He also received interest from Boston College, Buffalo, Duke, Maryland, Michigan State, North Texas, Northwestern, South Florida, UConn, West Virginia, and Western Kentucky.

STATS

Tyree made 24 tackles, two interceptions, and recovered two fumbles as a senior.

40 TIME

Rivals lists Tyree as running a 4.55 40-yard dash, a pretty respectable time for a corner.

PREDICTION

It’s no secret that Ball State struggled defending opposing defenses through the air last season, partly because the secondary resembled a MASH unit more than a functioning secondary. He has a pretty impressive list of schools who were interested in him but didn’t offer, he could challenge for playing time early if he hits the weight room hard when arrives on campus.

IMPACT ON THE REST OF THE CLASS

The class is almost full, with two cornerbacks already in the class the staff has added needed depth and is likely done with adding any more cornerbacks to this year’s class.

 

Go Cards!!
