Northwestern received a verbal commitment from three-star 2021 RB Anthony Tyus.
Tyus (6'1/215) opted in with the Wildcats over the likes of Iowa State, Cincinnati and Central Michigan. The Portage, Michigan, native already has a college-ready body, but there’s a little more to his game than just three yards and a cloud of dust. He possesses a trustworthy pair of hands in the receiving game and a sneaky burst, with 247Sports’ Allen Trieu noting that Tyus “shows good play-speed on film and breaks away quite a bit for a back of his size.” On the 247Sports composite board, Tyus lands as the No. 20 prospect in the state of Michigan for the 2021 cycle.
