Tulsa was the only school to offer 2015 Shawnee (Okla.) offensive lineman Tristan Wyatt thus far, but it was the only offer he needed before making a commitment.

On Wednesday, the 6-foot-4 and 292-pound offensive tackle gave a verbal pledge to the Golden Hurricane after visiting the campus. Along for the visit was former Shawnee and TU lineman Walter Boyd, who has been coaching Wyatt at the Hog Molly O-Line Academy.

"The campus and the coaching staff," said Wyatt, listing the main reasons he chose Tulsa. "I felt like it was a really good fit since the first visit and meeting all the coaches. I just visited the campus again today with Walter Boyd, and he really helped me identify what I was looking for in the place I am going to be spending my life for the next four to five years.

"The Tulsa campus has an Ivy League feel. It has great scenery, it's close together and looks brand new. TU football facilities are awesome -- great weight room and football offices. Everything about the campus is appealing to me."

Wyatt credits Boyd in his development as a player and a person.

"(Coach Boyd) has helped me a whole lot," he described. "He has taught me patience, mental and physical toughness, and confidence. He has really helped me develop a foundation of good technique and built onto it. He also taught me to watch film.

"Recruiting-wise, he has walked me through things I should look for in a college, how to talk to coaches, and told me the truth about college life and what to expect."

Coach Boyd says Wyatt has a good mental approach and a strong work ethic.

"(Tristan has) really good feet, really good technique, and he's good on point of attack," said Boyd. "He could be stronger, but that will come with maturity. He's a 300-plus pound bencher. He will get stronger because of his body frame.

"He's going to be an excellent fit at Tulsa. He's very humble, tremendously raw, and he's going into only his fourth year of organized football ever. Not many people know that, and it hasn't been publicized well."

Coach Boyd, who was a three-year starter for Tulsa between 2004 and 2007, noted that Wyatt is "one of the most hardworking, trustworthy, humble individuals I have ever met. I wish I was more like him coming out of high school."

Tulsa offensive coordinator Denver Johnson was responsible for recruiting Wyatt to TU. Memphis and Arkansas were also providing serious interest.

"Memphis, Arkansas and a couple smaller D-1 schools were talking to me, but Memphis and Arkansas were the most notable ones," he added.

With his college decision behind him, Wyatt is focused on improving as a player in order to help Shawnee compete for state championship next season.

"We look really strong," he explained. "We have a big offensive line, a great quarterback in John Jacobs. Our defense is a little young, but they have a great leader in Coach Sawyer and our safety, Josh Morgan."

Wyatt is the sixth commitment for Tulsa in the class of 2015 and the second from the Sooner State. All of the Hurricane's commitments have come in the past 17 days.
