Alabama is set to receive some help from its current recruiting class when QB commit Paul Tyson arrives on campus and expects to participate in on-campus bowl practices.

Tyson, who is Bear Bryant’s grandson, will graduate from high school a semester early in order to join the program. The Hewitt-Trussville native told AL.com that he has a one simple goal: “Help the team any way I can.”

It appears that Alabama coaches have already outlined a way Tyson can offer assistance.

While Alabama is set to play Oklahoma in the Orange Bowl, one of the College Football Playoff semifinal games, and Clemson meets Notre Dame in the other semifinal, Tyson could eventually mimic Clemson quarterback Trevor Lawrence as a scout-team quarterback.

It takes a page from something Clemson did recently.

“A couple of years back when Deshaun Watson was playing (at Clemson), Jalen Hurts actually did the exact same thing — came in for bowl practice and took on that role as Deshaun Watson,” Tyson said. “They said they completely believed that helped a ton and he was able to mimic Deshaun Watson.

“Definitely made clear that if Clemson ends up winning, it might be a shot for me on scout team to help the team.”

Tyson said he’s currently 6-foot-5 and nearly 220 pounds, an ideal physical profile for the 6-foot-6, 215-pound Lawrence. Both are also strong-armed quarterbacks, who have the ability to be mobile, if needed.

Tyson isn’t expected to receive meaningful playing time in the near future, but this could give him a glimpse at going against Alabama’s first-string defense.

Alabama’s other quarterback commit, Taulia Tagovailoa, Tua’s younger brother, is dealing with a shoulder injury, and not expected to arrive on campus until classes begin in January.
