Lyons is listed as a 6-foot-4, 240-pound weakside defensive end prospect, who in the end chose to commit to Penn State over 11 other scholarship offers from programs such as Cincinnati, Illinois, Nebraska, Pittsburgh, Virginia Tech, West Virginia and many others.

The Pennsylvania product spoke with Nittany Nation recently about his relationship with the staff, as it played a big factor in his recruitment.

"Every time you visit Penn State you're always going to be in for a show. It’s so much fun you just want to go back. It just gives you that home feeling. Then when you see them on TV you see Coach Franklin and he truly is, I promise different from a lot of head coaches. When you meet him it’s like you are family and it’s just a truly blessed opportunity."

Lyons is now the 10th commitment in the WeAre23 class that moved up from sixth to fifth overall in the country per the Rivals team rankings, just slightly behind Texas Tech, Notre Dame, Ohio State and Georgia.
