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.
Lyons makes his official visit to Oregon on June 13.
