I had the pleasure and the privilege to coach Tyree for four years at South Philly Rams football team. Tyree was a leader both on and off the field. His teammates and his Coaches looked up to him. If he was here, he would say, "That’s cause you're so short, Coach." He could always make me laugh. I WILL ALWAYS BE PROUD of Tyree not only for his skills and leadership, but more so for his academics. My heart is broken. When my own son celebrates his birthday on September 14th, the same as Tyree, I will celebrate his life and what it meant to me.

  I had the honor of coaching Tyree for the last two seasons at Southern.  I watched him mature not only as a player, but as a young man as well.  He became a leader on and off the field and the type of player you want all your kids to be like.  He would always tease me to put him at free safety so he could "get a pick" and tell me, "Coach Scott, I'm ready to return some kicks this week!"  He was the only lineman I knew that got mad when I didn't put him on the kickoff or kick return team, even though he was already playing both ways the entire game.  I miss him dearly and will never forget him.

  I knew Tyree for fours years and I can remember when we first came to SPHS and we played JV together. I played RB and he played FB and he use to always say "come on Rell let me run the ball this play or I'm not gonna block for you." I use to just laugh cause i knew he was just joking. As we got to our 12th grade year I was moved from RB and LB to RG and DT. When I was moved to those positions I would always try to be like tyree on both sides of the ball because i looked up to him even though I was the smallest lineman on the team. I will miss him and will never forget him.
