Tyrone "Ty" Isaac, Jr. (born October 16, 1994) is an American football running back for the Michigan Wolverines football team where he is a redshirt junior for the 2016 team. He played his freshman season for the 2013 USC Trojans before transferring and sitting out a year.
In high school, he played varsity for four years at Joliet Catholic Academy, helping the team to reach the Illinois High School Association (IHSA) Class 5A championship game twice. He was a member of the 2011 USA Today All-USA high school football team and 2013 Under Armour All-America Game team. His 515-yard rushing performance in 2011 is a IHSA championship game record. As a junior, he was recognized as the 2011 Chicago Sun-Times Football Player of the Year.
Isaac is the son of Tyrone Isaac who was a captain and 1000-yard rusher for the IHSA state Class 5A champion 1987 Joliet Catholic Academy team. The younger Isaac served as the team ball boy and water boy in his youth. He began attending football summer camp at Joliet Catholic Academy in third grade. By the time he was a high school freshman, he shared the backfield duties for the IHSA state Class 5A runner up. As a sophomore, he endured an injury plagued season. Nonetheless, big things were expected of him as a junior. He was one of only 5 Chicago metropolitan area selections to the 2011 ESPNU Class of 2013 watch list.
He was a 2011 USA Today All-USA high school football team selection as a junior and a 2013 Under Armour All-America Game selection as a senior for Joliet Catholic Academy. During his junior season, he rushed for 2,629 yards and 51 touchdowns, including a 515-yard, 6-touchdown effort in the 2011 IHSA Class 5A championship game against Montini Catholic High School. However, Isaac also lost two fumbles and threw an interception in what turned out to be a 70–45 championship game loss. His 515 rushing yards in the IHSA Class 5A Championship game surpassed Alonzo Wise's 1997 210-yard Class 5A championship game record and Matt Perez' 2009 316-yard all class record. At the end of the season, he earned the 2011 Chicago Sun-Times Football Player of the Year award.
