Tyrann had attended St. Augustine High School, a private, Catholic, all-boys school in his hometown of New Orleans. After his high school graduation, on an athletic scholarship, he joined Louisiana State University (LSU), a public land-grant research university in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
There, between 2010 and 2011, he represented the LSU Tigers football program. In August 2012, it was announced that Tyrann would be dismissed from the football team for violating team rules, reportedly due to repeated drug test failures. Soon enough, he withdrew from LSU and entered a drug rehabilitation program in Houston, Texas.
His withdrawal was expected to last for the entire 2012-2013 academic year. However, in September 2012, he enrolled in fall semester classes. In October 2012 though, Tyrann and 3 other former LSU players were arrested for possession of marijuana. In November 2012, it was announced that he would enter the 2013 NFL Draft.
