Five-Star Michigan QB Target Drawing JJ McCarthy Comparisons

Ryder Lyons, a five-star QB in the 2026 class (who will serve a mission for a year following HS so technically a 2027), showed out during a recent 7-on-7 competition. Lyons, who is also considering OSU, Oregon, BYU and others, was compared to JJ McCarthy after making this rushing TD:
