BIOGRAPHY: Junior-college transfer who started the past two seasons. All-Conference selection as a senior after totaling 56/3/16. Junior-year totals included 47/7/1. Experienced kick returner.

POSITIVES: Undersized cover corner who.s making a charge up draft boards. Fluid pedaling in reverse, smooth turning his hips, and quickly gets out of his plant. Displays a burst of speed to the ball. Stays with assignments, displays good instincts, and fights to break up the pass. Possesses good ball skills and does not get rattled playing against top competition.

NEGATIVES: Not a physically strong defensive back and loses out to large receivers. Struggles making plays with his back to the ball.

ANALYSIS: Tryon is a former sprint champion who.s slowly transferring his athletic skills to the football field. Best suited in a zone system or backed off the line of scrimmage, he offers the potential to be a productive nickel back at the next level.

PROJECTION: Late Sixth Round
