In an exciting development for college football recruiting, elite quarterback prospect Ryder Lyons has announced a date for his commitment. According to On3’s Hayes Fawcett, Lyons will reveal his decision on June 24. The talented quarterback himself confirmed this news by quoting Fawcett’s social media post, generating buzz among fans and analysts alike.
Standing at an impressive 6-foot-2 and weighing over 200 pounds, Ryder Lyons is currently ranked among the top five quarterbacks nationally in the Class of 2026 across all major recruiting platforms. This ranking highlights his exceptional skills and potential as a future college football star. Lyons hails from Folsom, California, and he is also a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, which adds a unique aspect to his recruitment process.
As Lyons narrows down his options, it appears that he is primarily considering Brigham Young University (BYU) and the University of Oregon. These two programs have emerged as frontrunners in his recruitment journey. Last weekend, Lyons took an official visit to Oregon, where he had the opportunity to meet with coaches and experience the campus. Following that, he is scheduled to visit BYU this weekend, giving the Cougars the final opportunity to impress the talented signal caller.
In the world of college football recruiting, securing a prospect’s final visit is often seen as a positive indicator for a school’s chances of landing a commitment. While it doesn't guarantee a pledge, it certainly can sway a recruit's decision. For BYU, this visit is crucial, as they aim to make a lasting impression on Lyons before he announces his commitment.
If Ryder Lyons chooses to commit to BYU, he would make history by becoming the first five-star prospect to do so for the Cougars in over 20 years. This would not only elevate BYU’s recruiting profile but also mark a significant milestone in the program’s history. As fans eagerly await his decision, all eyes will be on Lyons and his upcoming commitment announcement.
