Overview

• Lyons, a five-star quarterback from Folsom High School in California, selected BYU over finalists Oregon and USC after official visits in June 2025.
• He received his first scholarship offer from BYU in eighth grade and cited the program’s strong LDS culture and family connections as decisive influences.
• Lyons plans to serve a one-year mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, postponing his enrollment until spring 2027.
• His commitment bolsters BYU’s 2026 recruiting class, which already features four-star tight end Brock Harris and offensive lineman Bott Mulitalo.
• Oregon, having lost other top quarterback recruits like Jared Curtis and Jackson Cantwell, now must redirect its recruiting efforts to remaining 2026 prospects.
