Ryder Lyons, who is one of the nation’s top quarterback prospects for the class of 2026, has some decisions to make. With that said, BYU is reportedly one of his final teams as his commitment date draws near.
Earlier this week, Lyons told Rivals he’s near a decision on where he’ll go to college. The site’s recruiting analyst Adam Gorney wrote that, “The five-star quarterback from Folsom, Calif., visits Oregon this weekend, BYU next weekend and then could come to a decision.”Lyons has many other programs who have offered him, including Michigan and Ohio State. However, don’t count out BYU over a powerhouse like Oregon. “As much as the outsider sees the Ducks as the front-runner here, BYU is under very serious consideration and as a bonus, his sister lives in Provo,” Gorney added.
At 6-foot-2 and 220 pounds, Lyons is a consensus top-five quarterback prospect in the Class of 2026. According to 247Sports’ Greg Biggins, he brings all the makings of a generational talent to the table
The California Gatorade Player of the Year posted an 11-2 record as a junior, leading Folsom to the Division I-AA Northern California championship game. Lyons missed some time due to injury, but completed 211 of 310 passes (68.1%) for 3,011 yards with 46 TD and 6 INT. Also carried the ball 118 times for 585 yards and 14 TD.
