Ruston High School debuts its senior class of 2020 in the fall and 5’11, 165 pound CB Tyler Mansfield is amongst the flow. Benching 265 pounds with 4.25 shuttle, the 3-star prospect will be making major moves on the field this upcoming season. Last year, Tyler racked up four interceptions, 30 tackles, and three PBUs (Pass Break-ups) and ranked 10/10 rating in four LGF categories including hand technique, skill, vision, and aggression. Even off the field, the senior CB is making a name for himself earning a 3.7 GPA his junior year and planning to major in biology in college. The straightforward, no nonsense prospect is looking to reach even higher heights for his senior season and land himself on a university roster because of it.
