According to the paper this morning, this sophomore running back led Aloha to a big win over Jesuit. He was also second in the state in the 100 meters. Barely anything about him on Scout. Anybody know if this kid is a big time prospect for 2013?

It's hard for underclassmen in our region to get a lot of early hype. The best thing he could do for exposure this summer is get to as many D1 camps as possible where other top recruits are to stand out. I remember Colvin took off after he won MVP of the Stanford camp. After that Cam, Lavelle Hawkins and Early Doucet went on a southern camp tour where they went to a bunch of camps. Cam told me at the Miami camp the coaches were calling in local hs kids to come out to see if they could cover the troika of wrs.

Of course that takes some money but if you want to get noticed, go to where the scouts are and shine. That year Early was the #1 WR, Cam #5 and LaVelle #17.

I was at that game. Honestly the most insane high school athlete I've ever seen in my entire life. He looked like LMJ out there. The only problem are his grades from what I've heard. I have some friends who know him and said he's been trying to get into jesuit but he has somewhere in the mid 2 point range. At Aloha that's pretty bad. He would be a hell of a pickup, he beat Keanon Lowe in the 100 meter last year as a freshman fwiw.

10.54 as a Frosh. Not bad.

Yeah, I live in the beaverton area and seen a couple games of his and he is definitely the real deal.

Aloha HS is honestly stacked this year(the first time I've said that in my lifetime). Their o-line is good(thanks to Euscher), they have two amazing RB's(Schaffer and Tyner), and a very fast QB(Clardy).

Anyways, back to Tyner, he really is a special player. I can't remember a RB from Oregon with his type of skill. He'll be the best player in Oregon by the time he's a senior.

I've also seen some of the best RB's that came out of Oregon(Paul Weatheroy, Malcolm Johnson, Scott Grady, and Rafael Lambert) and he is on a different level then those guys.

Would be nice to get an in-state talent like him but he first needs to get his grades up so he can qualify.

He is raw! I have been dredding playing them, all week! I have had to watch film on him too since I play both DL and OL for Beaverton and this kid is out of this world. And he is a buddy of mine and he has a 3.42 overall GPA so grades are not an issue FWIW. Only nock on him is his toughness

If his grades are not an issue, then he'll be seriously looked at by Oregon's coaches, unless they feel there are better players out there or he doesn't fit in with what they want out of a RB.

He is listed on Scout and Rivals as 5' 11" and Max Preps has him @ 6' 2". I realize these services frequently get "little details" like this wrong, but I wonder if he is still growing, and if he is going to grow his way away from RB? I am not partial to a RB above 6' 2" - maybe he will end up @ WR?

Really? Huh, my bad for getting the grades wrong.
