*30 for 30 voice* What if I told you, it was time to reverse the curse? Sixty-six years after Bear Bryant left Lexington, his great-grandson could return to the University of Kentucky.  Earlier today, Mark Stoops extended a scholarship offer to 2019 quarterback Paul Tyson. https://twitter.com/Paul_Tyson17/status/857609443005038592?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw&ref_url=http%3A%2F%2Fukrecruiting.bloginky.com%2F2017%2F04%2F27%2Fbear-bryants-great-grandson-lands-offer-from-uk%2F The 6'4" 210-pound pro-style quarterback hails from Trussville, Alabama.  The offer from Kentucky is just Tyson's second scholarship offer, following Jacksonville State.  The junior-to-be has also received some early interest from Clemson and, of course, Alabama. If there is some kind of curse since Bryant left, here's Stoops' chance to change the program's fortune forever.  If not, he's still a pretty good QB who could blossom into a star at UK.
