DeAngelo Tyson (born April 12, 1989) is an American football defensive end with the Seattle Seahawks of the National Football League (NFL). He was selected in the seventh round, 236th overall, by the Ravens in the 2012 NFL Draft. He played college football at Georgia.

Early life and high school

Tyson was born in Savannah, Georgia on April 12, 1989. During his childhood, Tyson lived in a home where his father wasn't around and his mother was somewhat abusive. When Tyson was 10 years old, his mother beat him so bad, that neighbors reacted and called for help. Tyson moved out of his mother's home and transferred to the Joseph Home for Boys, an affiliate of The Department of Family and Children Services. He lived in the department until he completed middle school. Tyson attended Statesboro High School in Statesboro, Georgia, where he was teammates with Justin Houston. In his sophomore year, he was a member of 2005 AAAA state champion team. As a senior, he registered 54 tackles, 14 for loss, and nine sacks, and was a 2007 USA Today high school All-USA selection. He picked Georgia over Tennessee, South Carolina, North Carolina State, Auburn and Florida.
