When his class was signed, I felt Tryon was the most underrated by far. His film was incredible in that he was both huge and had that rare last step burst to close on runners, and I just didn't get the low rating and having nothing better than UW or the Coug. 2019 was a bit of a bizzarro season for me, as everything that made sense on paper didn't show up on the field, causing things to go to total shit. One of those things was that you'd expect Tryon to pick up the 2019 season where he left off in 2018. It took him well into the 2018 season to figure things out, but he had all the look of a near-future all-conference player by the end of that season.

Instead, "what the hell happened to Tryon?" was one of the biggest mysteries to me through the first half or so of 2019. By the end of the season, he was right back to looking like he was at the end of 2018. For the second offseason in a row, he was one of the guys I most expected to dominate once play resumed, so it's sad from a UW standpoint that he's leaving. That being said, I had already mentally prepared myself for another letdown, as fool me twice... well, you can't fool me again.

He has every tool to be a high caliber NFL player, and I wish him luck, I just still can't explain his early-2019 performance.
