Walker Lyons

[Yergensen]

Well, that left an impression…

[PhiladelphiaUte]

What are you talking about?  Did he commit somewhere?  Are you talking about UGA’s live vivisection of TCU, and the way their TEs were used via a 195 “all purpose” yardage production?

[Ghost of the HEB]

He liked a tweet from On3 predicting him to Georgia. He gone

[EagleMountainUte]

May sound zoobish but Mission kids are just so eh…like who knows if he stays wherever he decides to go in two years. Also not trying to poo poo him. He missed his entire senior season and is heading on a mission. That is THREE years without football. Am I missing the overwhelming desire for this kid?

[Yergensen]

He’s dominant, IMO would be the jewel of the class.

[EagleMountainUte]

Well remind me in 2025 is all I am saying. 

[Ghost of the HEB]

He’s only planning on 12 month mission (which is a thing now apparently). So he’ll be back for 24 season

[EagleMountainUte]

So basically 12 month rehab in Norway? I saw he was just medically cleared.
Interesting note TDS has done this for years. I believe even Max Hall served a mini mission.

[EagleMountainUte]

Barton is a jewel. He made impacts this season and will be an absolute beast next year. I have zero idea where Utah will be in 2025. Hell Ludwig and Whitt may retire by then. 

[krindor]

Worth noting that he’s apparently planning on a one year mission, so wouldn’t be missing three seasons, only two 

 

Which is the same as Clegg or anyone else serving a typical two year LDS mission

[tanute3]

Lol what? 1 year missions aren’t really a thing

“Yeah, so it is traditionally two years,” Lyons said. “But it is a lot more flexible now than in the past it used to be like 15 or 20 years ago. It’s really like your own kind of deal. For Georgia, I’ve expressed to them it would be like around 12 to 17 months. 

“I have cousins out there in Norway who are members of the church and so it’s really like just helping the members of our faith and the LDS faith out there,” Lyons said. “It’s really just helping them out and trying to help people with Christianity and doing all sorts of services and good deeds.”

He will be helping kids out there. Running camps. Coaching them. Doing sports with them.

All taken from an interview he did with DawgNation…. https://www.dawgnation.com/recruiting/uga_signing_day_2022/walker-lyons-georgia-football-recruitng-utah-football-recruiting-all-american-bowl-man-of-the-year/OCVV6KLFAVCS7BCYEBOOQNQKHQ/

Also from that same article

 

“Like for me right now I really have like it down to [Southern Cal] talks to me a lot and maybe Stanford a little bit,” he said. “And I’d say Georgia and Utah are kind of the frontrunners right now. Just the way they use their tight ends. Those two schools are unique from anyone in the country really.”

He felt the advantages to play tight end at both Georgia and Utah are very similar. The schools play hard and physical football. He relishes that. They also play more “12′ and “13″ personnel than anyone else.

“Utah also has a top [30] recruiting class this year,” Lyons said. ‘Which never happens. So they are also doing really good things.”

[EagleMountainUte]

Well now if he was interviewed he can say Georgia will compete for a title. Next year and the year after that and after that.
