Ryder Lyons, a five-star top 10 recruit in the 2026 class who hails from California, could decide to stay home. While he plans to do a 1-year mission after graduation, Lyons, has been predicted to the Trojans by On3’s Pete Nakos:

Lyons is also considering Michigan, Oregon, BYU and others. He recently took visits to Ann Arbor and other places.

Would be a major addition to the Trojans’ QB room and Lincoln Riley sure has a history of developing QBs.
