Tyree DeSean St. Louis (born May 8, 1997) is a former American football offensive tackle. He played college football at the University of Miami, and signed with the New England Patriots as an undrafted free agent in 2019. He was also a member of the Indianapolis Colts and Los Angeles Chargers of the National Football League (NFL) and Birmingham Stallions of the United States Football League (USFL).

College career

[edit]

St. Louis came out of the IMG Academy as a four-star recruit by both ESPN and Rivals and the ninth-best offensive lineman prospect in Floria state while being a top-300 high school prospect in the country. He decided to stay close to home and play his collegiate football at Miaimi over offers from Florida, Kentucky, Tennessee, and USC. As a freshman in 2015, St. Louis did not redshirt for the Hurricanes but saw most of his actions on special teams throughout the season. As a sophomore, he saw more action earning the first starts of his career as he got the nod for the final 8 games of the season at right tackle. St. Louis would go on to start the remaining 26 games of his career through his junior and senior season with 13 starts in 2017 coming at right tackle and the rest coming on the left side. He earned Honorable Mention All-ACC honors following the conclusion of the 2018 season.[1]
