Four-Star TE Walker Lyons decommits from Stanford

Folsom (CA) High four-star tight end Walker Lyons announced his decommitment from Stanford Monday morning.

The 6-foot-4, 230 pounder had been committed to Stanford since July.

Lyons sent a statement to On3 regarding his decommitment:

With the recent turn of events, I want my Stanford Recruiting family and coaches to know how much I’ve appreciated everything they have done for me.

 It’s been a blessing to know such great people, Coach Shaw specifically is an amazing mentor. 

While Stanford remains a top choice for me, I am taking a step back to reevaluate and will be postponing my signing until February.

Walker Lyons Scouting Summary

“One of the more polished pass catchers at the tight end position in the 2023 recruiting cycle,” On3’s Director of Scouting Charles Power wrote. “Lines up with his hand in the dirt as a true in-line Y, splits out wide and lines up in the slot as a flex option. Excellent body control and ability to contort his frame to be in the best position to catch the football. Measured in at 6-foot-5, just under 230 pounds. Had 44 receptions for 746 yards and 9 touchdowns as a junior. Helped lead NorCal powerhouse Folsom High to a state championship final as a junior. Twitchy off the line of scrimmage and has tremendous wiggle for his size as a route runner. Shows some explosiveness as a hooper on the hardwood. Expected to take a two-year LDS mission.”

Lyons currently ranks as the No. 128 player in the On3 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that accounts for all four major recruiting services. He also tabs in as the No. 6 tight end and the No. 10 player in the state of California.
