4-star WR Taeshaun Lyons signs with Washington

Hayward (Calif.) Tennyson four-star wide receiver Taeshaun Lyons has signed with Washington.

Lyons is the No. 222 overall prospect and No. 32 wide receiver in the 2023 cycle, according to the On3 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He is also the No. 16 player in California.

On3 rates Lyons higher than other recruiting services, according to the Industry Comparison. Per the 2023 On300, he is the No. 130 overall prospect, No. 21 wide receiver and No. 7 player in California.

He committed to the Huskies on December 16.

Lyons currently has an On3 NIL Valuation of $10.4k. The On3 NIL Valuation is the industry’s leading index that sets high school and college athletes’ projected annual value (PAV). The NIL valuation does not act as a tracker of the value of NIL deals an athlete has completed to date. It rather signifies an athlete’s value at a certain moment in time.

Taeshaun Lyons Scouting Summary

Wiry wideout with super smooth movement patterns and big-play ability. Has a thin frame, measuring at over 6-foot-2 and around 160 pounds prior to his senior season. Registers as a good athlete, running an 11.03 second 100 meter time in addition to a 4.64 electronically-timed 40-yard dash as a junior. Dominates average to subpar competition on Friday nights. Accounted for 955 yards and 16 touchdowns on just 31 catches as a junior. A threat to score every time he touches the ball at the high school level. A naturally smooth mover and has advanced routes and on-field change of direction at this stage. Shows the ability to separate within his routes in the camp setting. Ball skills are not a question, but can struggle with finishing through contact due to his relative lack of strength. Will need to continue adding mass at the college level.
