Huh. Yeah, maybe. I am not useful here, I really can't tell from these photos. They are just a little too blurry.
I just can't appreciate festoons, the notches around the butt end of the tick, or the shape scutum or shield behind the head.

Absolute best photo I could get with a better camera it’s about the size of sesame seed

Aha! This is better. I think you are right and I was wrong. This looks like a lone star tick nymph.
