Ryder Lyons Unlikely to Join BYU Football on Wednesday

The BYU Cougars football program recently experienced significant momentum with head coach Kalani Sitake’s contract extension. As the early recruiting signing period commenced, excitement surrounded the team’s expected recruitment efforts.

Ryder Lyons’ Signing Status

Despite this enthusiasm, an anticipated signing is not taking place. Elite California quarterback Ryder Lyons, a standout player from Folsom High School, will not join BYU on Wednesday. Reports from 247 Sports’ Brandon Huffman indicate that Lyons may delay his decision until February.

Future Plans and Mission

Lyons is not expected to enroll immediately as he has plans to serve a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Florida. Although indications suggest that he may ultimately sign with BYU, the delay opens the door for other programs to engage with him.

Interest from Other Schools

Several elite college football programs are reportedly interested in recruiting Lyons. The schools mentioned include:

• Oregon
• USC
• LSU
• Miami

These institutions may intensify their efforts to attract the consensus top five quarterback prospect in the Class of 2026.

As the recruitment landscape evolves, all eyes remain on Ryder Lyons and his potential future with BYU. The eventual announcement regarding his commitment will be closely watched by fans and analysts alike.
