Tyson Bagent is a traditional pocket passer, not really offering much as a runner. This would make him ideal for a traditional offensive system, where he could play a west-coast style of offense. However, his inability to consistently hit out-breaking routes toward the sideline concerns me and limits his effectiveness in the scheme that he best fits. Tyson’s father, Travis, played baseball for Shepherd University and graduated in 1999. His mother, Casey, also graduated from Shepherd.

Tyson Bagent scouting notes
Pros:
- Throws a beautiful deep touch ball.
- Has a quick release. Release point is very low. Has the ability to throw the ball from multiple release angles.
- Limited mobility outside of the pocket. Doesn’t have a lot of speed but can get away from defenders with space and make throws on the move.
- Shows some ability to pick up on the defense pre-snap.
- Made both the Senior Bowl watchlist and the Shrine Bowl 1000.
Cons:
- Has the ability to push the ball 30-40 yards, but ball stays in the air for a long time. We don’t see him consistently driving the football into tight windows with velocity.
- Accuracy isn’t great. Misses routine throws to the sideline that he should be hitting. Deep ball accuracy is suspect too. Most effective underneath and across the middle.
- Placement is all over the place. Struggles to get the ball on the right side of the receiver with consistency.
- Doesn’t appear to be very mobile inside the pocket. Struggles to effectively move.
- Not consistent with his feet. Will try to force the ball on quick throws without setting his feet.
- Limited runner down the field. Doesn’t have a lot of speed or athleticism.
- Has a tendency to try and force the football downfield.
