Tyree Saunders is a veteran NCCU receiver with playmaking experience and a fresh start in Durham
Tyree Saunders brings fifth-year experience, a sturdy 6-foot-0, 198-pound frame, and a transfer-trail résumé from Virginia Tech, ECU, and Alabama State to North Carolina Central in 2026. He has real in-game usage on his ledger — in the 2025 season, he posted 3 catches for 35 yards in limited action — but the bigger story is his upside as an experienced WR who can add maturity, route savvy, and depth to the Eagles’ passing game. If you want a seasoned, lower-ego, plug-and-play receiver with room to carve out a bigger role, he’s worth a look.
