Five-Star QB Ryder Lyons Sets June 24 Oregon Commitment Decision

Five-star quarterback Ryder Lyons, the top uncommitted QB in the 2026 class and a standout at Folsom High School, has announced he will make his college commitment on June 24, with Oregon and BYU emerging as the favorites. Lyons, who threw for over 3,000 yards and 46 touchdowns last season, recently visited both schools—Oregon touts its strong QB development under Dan Lanning, while BYU offers religious ties and a reported NIL deal valued as high as $10–12 million. Lyons plans to take an LDS mission after high school, delaying his college football debut until the 2027 season. Peer recruiting is playing a role, with Oregon's five-star tight end commit Kendre Harrison publicly encouraging Lyons to join the Ducks, reflecting the culture Dan Lanning is building. The recruiting landscape remains competitive, with several other high-profile commitments expected soon and other Oregon QB targets also competing at the Elite 11 Finals. Lyons's decision is anticipated to significantly impact the national 2026 recruiting rankings for both programs.
