The Oregon Ducks are in the thick of it for 5-star quarterback Ryder Lyons, who announced on Wednesday night that he is set to make his commitment next week on Tuesday, June 24. At the moment, both Oregon and the BYU Cougars are thought to be the two leading candidates to land a commitment from the No. 13 player and No. 4 QB in the 2026 cycle.
Last weekend, Lyons took his official visit to Oregon, and he is headed to BYU this week for his official visit with the Cougars.
On Tuesday morning, a prediction came down from the 247Sports recruiting staff for Lyons to end up with BYU in the long run.
While the prediction only has a confidence level of 5, it is still something that should be taken into account, especially considering Lyons’ ties with the Mormon community and his plan to take an LDS mission out of high school, delaying his freshman season until 2027.
While Oregon is seen as a strong contender to land Lyons, based on their track record of developing QBs, the offensive system, and his relationship with offensive coordinator Will Stein, BYU is a huge threat here. Several reports show that the Cougars have offered a massive NIL deal for Lyons. Ultimately, it’s likely going to come down to which matters more for Lyons: a huge lump sum of money or the opportunity to play for and be developed by the Ducks.
We will find out in a matter of days, but this one appears to be trending toward BYU at the moment.
