Five-star quarterback recruit Ryder Lyons has been one of the top quarterback prospects in the class of 2026 since he entered high school, and the time has come for Lyons to make his college commitment. Will the five-star recruit choose the BYU Cougars or the Oregon Ducks?

During his recruitment, Lyons reportedly had interest in other programs like the USC Trojans and Ole Miss Rebels, but his last two visits to Oregon and BYU signal that the Ducks and the Cougars are the finalists to land Lyons’ commitment when he reveals his decision on Tuesday, June 24.

Steve Wiltfong reported that Lyons is in fact down to Oregon and BYU,and Wiltfong laid out the reasons why Lyons might be leaning towards either school:

“Lyons was in Eugene last weekend. No program has recruited him harder. He sees the track record of offense, the success the quarterback is having with the last two being Heisman Finalists and BO Nix hitting the ground running in the NFL,” wrote wiltfong. “This past weekend he got around power players that help the athletes off the field.”

“BYU aligns with Lyons faith. He’s had several family members attend school there. It’s a program coming off a good season. How high do the Cougars go from an NIL standpoint?” Wiltfong continued.

oregon and BYU have battled for recruits in the past,but none have been as high-profile as Lyons. Four-star offensive lineman Bott Mulitalo decommitted from Oregon in March before committing to BYU in April.
