This is the final post of the Cy Woods All-Time Roster.
Tyler Williamson, also known as "T-Time," was a cornerback in 2008. He was the first Wildcat to wear #1. Tyler was the fastest player in the program, and was by far the best athlete in the Class of 2009. He ran a 4.3 (flat) 40, but that was back when our 40 times were hand-timed. He holds the school records in the 100m and the long jump.
After Cy Woods, Tyler accepted a track and field scholarship at the University of Texas at San Antonio. He specialized in the sprints and the jumps, but the long jump was his event. His personal best in the event at UTSA was 25 feet, 8.75 inches, which was a school record that has since been broken. He also holds the UTSA indoor record, when he jumped 25 feet, 0.5 inches at the New Balance Invitational in 2012. In 2010, he was the Southland Conference champion in the outdoor long jump, and he was a 2-time indoor champion in the Southland, winning 2011 and 2012. In 2013, he was the outdoor long jump champion in the Western Athletic Conference.
After concluding his college career, Tyler became a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist and launched Kinetic, a personal training service, mainly focusing on footwork (speed, agility, etc.). He's left that venture behind, but he is still working as a personal trainer in The Woodlands. I don't know Tyler all that well, but I know that he is a former Division I athlete who was among the best in the country in his discipline. If you're a Wildcat football player, I think you should check him out.
Side note: While at UTSA, Tyler saved a child who was drowning.

He was originally a cornerback before moving over to linebacker, and he appeared on all of the special teams in the 2009 season. John also competed as a powerlifter for the Wildcats.
Patrick Gant, a starting wide receiver and team captain in 2010, was the next Wildcat to wear #1. Pat also played baseball at Cy Woods, and went on to play wide receiver at Prairie View A&M.
Mason Roberts, a wide receiver/quarterback, made the varsity in 2011, his sophomore year. His mother, Linda, is the athletics secretary at Cy Woods, and his father, Robbie, was a former Secret Service agent. His older sister, Susan, played soccer for the Wildcats.
In his three years on the team, Mason evolved into a dangerous weapon for the Wildcats, thanks to his versatility. He was a three-year starter at wide receiver and was also the starting quarterback for part of the 2012 season. Mason is currently a wide receiver at Nicholls State University in Thibodaux, Louisiana.
In his two full seasons on the varsity, Jordan established himself as a home run threat and was an honorable mention All-District selection in 2014. As a punter, he was a 2nd-team pick. Jordan also featured prominently as a returner as teams made a concerted effort to kick away from C.J. Jones.
As a senior, Jordan was a 1st-team All-District selection in District 17-6A following a season in which he caught 22 passes for 710 yards and 10 touchdowns. His 10 touchdown catches tied the Cy Woods single-season record for touchdown catches in a season, a feat that has also been achieved by Fred Anderson in 2010 and Gary Tesch in 2011. In addition, his 14 career touchdown receptions puts him in a tie for the top spot with Gary and C.J. His 94-yard touchdown reception against Creek is the longest offensive touchdown in Cy Woods history.
His older brother, Eric, played as a cornerback from 2011-12, and just as his brother did, Jordan also competed in track & field for the Wildcats, specializing in the sprints and the jumps. I think he preferred jumping. He will compete in track and field at the collegiate level for Texas A&M beginning in 2016.
