Trieu: MSU likes West Michigan running back Anthony Tyus III's maturity, work ethic

Michigan State offered Portage Northern junior running back Anthony Tyus III this week.

Tyus, a bruising 6-foot-1, 220-pound prospect, is actually a Lansing native. His father starred at Sexton High before going on to play at Central Michigan.

"Getting an offer from Michigan State means a lot because Lansing is my hometown," Tyus said. "That is where I was born at."

As a junior, Tyus rushed for 1,861 yards and 19 touchdowns.
