Per Rivals National Recruiting Director Adam Gorney:
The five-star quarterback is always up for a good surprise – like his out-of-nowhere visit to Sacramento State on Friday with Folsom, Calif., teammate Jameson Powell – but BYU is a real contender in his recruitment for numerous reasons.
USC, Oregon and a surging Michigan are also very involved with Lyons. But both of his parents went to school at BYU, there is a religious consideration there and the five-star quarterback talked highly about BYU last weekend at the Rivals Camp. Lyons hasn’t finalized visit dates to all of his favorites yet but he’s expected back at BYU and that’s clearly huge.
