151 rushing yards in champ win Tyus accrued 27 rushes for 151 yards and one touchdown and caught all two targets for 22 yards during Saturday's 38-3 victory versus Miami (OH).

Impact Tyus finished out the regular season with his best rushing performance since Ohio's first outing of the year, and he did so also with his ninth rushing touchdown of the campaign. The running back helped lead Ohio to a big conference championship in a game that was tilting the other way pregame. The senior did likely play his second-last game as a Bobcat, but he'll get another chance to finish strong in the team's bowl game against Jax State later this December.

109 rushing yards in win Tyus tallied 13 rushes for 109 yards and caught 1 of 2 targets for 12 yards during Friday's 42-21 victory against Ball State.

Impact Tyus was a powerhouse yet again for the Bobcats, but he did it with just 13 carries compared to his 33 rushes for 125 yards in the previous week versus Toledo. The senior running back finished out the season with 184 attempts for 960 yards and eight touchdowns. He'll look to get to 1k yards as Ohio plays for the conference championships next weekend against Miami-Ohio.

125 yards in big win Tyus recorded 33 carries for 125 yards and one touchdown during Wednesday's 24-7 victory against Toledo.

Impact Tyus was utilized the most he has been all year, getting 33 carries in the Bobcats' rushing attack against the Rockets. Although he's lost some touchdown prospects to quarterback Parker Navarro, the pair have both been very efficient so far this campaign.

NOVEMBER 22, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Finds end zone in blowout Tyus totaled 12 rushes for 32 yards and one touchdown and caught their only target for zero yards during Wednesday's 35-10 victory over Eastern Michigan.

Impact Tyus wasn't a huge contributor in the win over the Eagles, but he didn't have to be after scoring a touchdown in the second quarter. The senior running back is still primed to lead the Bobcats' backfield in the coming weeks, as his collegiate career comes to a close.

NOVEMBER 14, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Logs touchdown in return Tyus recorded 14 rushes for 84 yards and one touchdown during Wednesday's 41-0 win versus Kent State.

Impact Tyus was very efficient on the ground in his return after a one-game absence due to a lower-body injury, and he capitalized on his performance with a first quarter score. The RB1 may have been utilized even more if the game wasn't such a blowout, but he may be given the ball at higher amounts this upcoming week in what will likely be a closer game against Eastern Michigan.

Likely to be limited Wednesday Tyus (lower body) is expected to be limited in Wednesday's game against Kent, Robert Keegan of The Ohio Post reports.

Impact Tyus was seen on the field in Ohio's first drive, though the flow of the game will ultimately determine how involved he ends up being. Tyus was starting and so is quarterback Parker Navarro, so it seems the Ohio offense will be at full strength in this game.

Questionable Tuesday, warming up Tyus (lower body) was observed going through pregame warmups but is listed questionable for. Wednesday's game against Kent, Andrew Bowlby of WOUB Public Media reports.

Impact Tyus has missed the team's last matchup as he works his way back from a lower body injury. His participation in warmups bodes well for his chances of playing in this meeting.

NOVEMBER 6, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Out indefinitely Tyus is out indefinitely due to a lower-body injury, Robert Keegan of The Post reports.

Impact At the very least, Tyus' lower-body injury prematurely ends his October. He will finish the month with 25 carries for 110 yards and one touchdown. Tyus' absence likely means Ohio's team depends more on the passing game with Rickey Hunt, Nolan McCormick and Duncan Brune candidates to receive increased rushing attempts until further notice.

OCTOBER 21, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Nearly 100 yards in victory Tyus logged 17 rushes for 95 yards and hauled in all two targets for eight yards during Saturday's 27-25 victory against Central Michigan.

Impact Tyus had full command over Ohio's backfield from the running back perspective, but he was overshadowed a bit by starting quarterback Parker Navarro who logged 14 carries for 176 yards and a touchdown. The quarterback-running back duo's success is not mutually exclusive, but Tyus could see a drop-off in utilization if Navarro can continue to run the ball so well in the coming weeks.

Huge usage in big win Tyus III posted 30 carries for 109 yards and caught his only target for 10 yards during Saturday's 30-10 victory versus Akron.

Impact Tyus was utilized the most he's been all year against Akron, and this resulted in his second 100-yard performance of the season. The veteran running back has full control over the team's backfield and should continue to aid a solid rush game as conference play continues.

SEPTEMBER 30, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Listed as questionable Tyus III (undisclosed) has been deemed questionable ahead of Saturday's matchup with Akron.

Impact It would be a big blow to the Ohio offense if Tyus III ultimately couldn't go -- the senior leads the Bobcats with 391 yards and four touchdowns on 57 carries this year. Rickey Hunt Jr. and Duncan Brune would be in line for expanded roles behind Tyus III.

SEPTEMBER 28, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Tough day during loss Tyus logged eight rushes for 24 yards during Saturday's 41-6 defeat versus Kentucky.

Impact Tyus is coming off a huge performance last week against Morgan State, so this week's 24 yards were a tough blow. The senior running back should be more efficient as Ohio takes on conference play this upcoming week against Akron.

SEPTEMBER 22, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Touchdown in both mediums Tyus accrued 16 rushes for 90 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 21-6 victory over Morgan State. He also logged three receptions for 38 yards and a touchown.

Impact A receiving touchdown in the first quarter wasn't enough for Tyus, as he also found a score on the ground in the fourth. The starting running back looks to have full command of Ohio's backfield, and he also is a receiving threat which adds to his stock.

SEPTEMBER 14, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Impact Tyus showed against Syracuse that the offense may need to run through him to keep games competitive this season.

Impact Tyus managed an efficient day against Illinois, averaging over seven yards per carry on the day. The junior running back also found the end zone on a one-yard run in the second quarter, giving the Wildcats an 11-point lead at the time. Tyus will finish the season with 217 yards and a touchdown on just 45 attempts on the ground through 10 games.

NOVEMBER 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Starts at RB Tyus had eight carries for 13 yards and two receptions for four yards in Friday's loss to Michigan State.

Impact Tyus started at running back and got the first three carries, but Andrew Clair and Evan Hull got the bulk of work later in the game. Hull had been limited in practice with a lower body injury, so Tyus may not be the starter again next week. However, Tyus, a freshman, may have the most upside among the trio that are being used to replace Cam Porter, who was lost for the season due to injury.
