As a freshman at Florida in 2017, Dyson went 4–0 with a 3.23 ERA in 39 innings.[2] Dyson started Game 3 of the Gainesville Super Regional of the 2017 NCAA Division I baseball tournament against Wake Forest and struck out seven batters over five innings,[3] clinching a trip to the College World Series. He also started the clinching game of the CWS against LSU, which Florida eventually won.[4] That summer, he played in the Northwoods League where he posted a 1.59 ERA over 28+13 innings.[5] In 2018, as a sophomore, Dyson appeared in 14 games (11 starts) in which he pitched to a 5–3 record with a 4.47 ERA.[6] Following the season, he played for the Falmouth Commodores of the Cape Cod Baseball League, compiling a 2.37 ERA in 19 innings.[7] Prior to the 2019 season, Dyson was named to the Golden Spikes Award watch list[8] along with being named a Baseball America preseason All-American.[9] For the season, he appeared in 11 games (nine starts), pitching to a 3–2 record with a 4.95 ERA.[10]

Dyson was selected by the Washington Nationals in the fifth round, with the 153rd overall selection, of the 2019 Major League Baseball draft and signed for $500,000.[11][12] He made his professional debut with the Rookie-level Gulf Coast League Nationals before being promoted to the Auburn Doubledays of the Low-A New York–Penn League after one game. Over nine starts between the two affiliates, Dyson went 2–1 with a 1.07 ERA, striking out 17 over 33+23 innings.[13] Dyson did not play in a game in 2020 due to the cancellation of the minor league season because of the COVID-19 pandemic.[14]

In 2021, Dyson participated in major league spring training with the Nationals before being assigned to the Wilmington Blue Rocks.[15] Over ten games (six starts), Dyson went 1–3 with a 2.84 ERA and thirty strikeouts over 31+23 innings.
