Oregon Football Recruiting: Ducks on track to land Lyons
Recruiting requires maximum resilience.
With an hour of losing out to Georgia for Jared Curtis, Oregon received a "Fong Bomb" a prediction to land 5-star quarterback Ryder Lyons, 6-2, 205 from Folsom, Calif.
In the latest Rivals rankings, Lyons is the No. 3 prospect and No. 2 quarterback in the country, behind only No. 1 offensive tackle Jackson Cantwell and Tennessee commit at quarterback Faizon Brandon. Curtis actually dropped to No. 8.
Lyons plays varsity basketball and football for the Bulldogs. As a quarterback he led them to a state championship in 2023, a Northern California Regional Championship over Pittsburg in 2024, passing for 3,011 yards and 46 touchdowns, rushing for 585 yards and 14 TDs.
Ryder Lyons is now the No. 3 overall player in the nation from @Rivals.https://t.co/onEOY3QkZ6 https://t.co/BDaR9iWqzN
