Coming out of Baltimore’s Poly High School, Tyrese Chambers was one of only two wide receivers to make all USA Today’s Maryland first-team all-state list, hauling in 54 receptions for 1,200 yards and 21 touchdowns in only 10 games. The other, Daniel George, was rated a four-star recruit and signed with Penn State. However, Chambers was overlooked by many programs and landed at Fort Scott Junior College in Kansas, where he excelled in the classroom as a student, earning a 3.6 GPA.
That success brought the 6-1, 185-pound wideout an offer from FCS Sacred Heart in the Spring where he again was a top-tier talent. Chambers became an instant playmaker for the Pioneers, recording 50 catches for 811 yards and 10 scores en route to becoming an All-American and a Jerry Rice Award finalist, given to the freshman of the year in FCS.
