BYU has bolstered its tight end position with the addition of Walker Lyons, a talented transfer from USC. This move comes as a surprise, given that Lyons' younger brother, Ryder, is a top quarterback recruit set to join BYU in 2027. Walker Lyons, a 4-star recruit, had initially committed to USC over BYU and other prestigious schools. However, he has now decided to transfer, bringing his impressive skills to the Cougars. In his freshman year with the Trojans, Lyons demonstrated his potential, catching 20 passes for 223 yards and two touchdowns in 11 games. His decision to transfer is intriguing, especially considering his previous commitment to USC and his full-time mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Norway. Lyons now has two seasons of eligibility remaining in Provo, where he will compete to become BYU's starting tight end, replacing Carsen Ryan. This offseason, BYU has also added former Oregon receiver Kyler Kasper from the transfer portal, further strengthening their roster. The arrival of Walker Lyons adds an exciting element to BYU's football team, and his presence will undoubtedly be a topic of discussion among fans and analysts alike.
