The 5-9, 192-pounder had a 76-yard touchdown against Central Michigan on Sept. 16, and he caught a 46-yard score against USC in a 48-20 win Oct. 14.

Tyree rushed 231 times for 1,160 carries and eight touchdowns his first three years at Notre Dame. He finished with 82 catches for 945 yards and seven scores in his four-year career.

Tyree has also returned both punts and kickoffs in college, but never at he same time. He was a punt returner this past fall, and had 11 returns for 119 yards and a 82-yard touchdown. Tyree has had 57 kickoff returns for 1,057 yards and a 96-yard touchdown his first three years.

Coming out of Thomas Dale High, Rivals.com ranked the four-star prospect at No. 78 overall in the country, No. 4 all-purpose back nationally and the No. 2 overall player in Virginia in the class of 2020.
