Bill Kurelic on Wesley Lyons

Yes, this is Devon's little brother; however, at 6'6", 185, maybe I should say that he is Devon's younger brother.

Wesley will be a junior at Woodland Hills this fall; last season, he caught six passes.

Wesley likes Ohio State, amongst others.

 

[OSU Rob]

if he grows any taller he might have to move to the line (either te or ol/dl)

If he does, he'll have to put on about 60-100 pounds...not sure if he has the frame for that. I'll take a 6'6" wideout anyday. Need to work on his speed a bit, but that's doable...

 

[LordJeffBuck]

Wesley is in the 2006 Rivals data base, so that info is free: I linked and printed it above.

His speed is 4.65 forty - not Nike-timed.

 

[OSU Rob]

6'6" is Plaxico Burress size, and he can definitely be effective like Buress (I still remember MSU tossing up those jump balls in '98 to Burress and him consistently outjumping Winfield/Plummer). However, he's only going to be a junior this year, so saying that he might grow to 6'8" isn't a stretch, and there really aren't that many guys 6'8" who're playing WR.

LJB: Saw that after I made my post. Thanks. By the way, great find, as always.

 

[MyDixieWrecked]

I believe he is the same hieght as the tallest NFL reciever, Plexico. He needs to put on good weight. He could play WR, TE or DE with that height.

 

[BuckNutty]

Anyone remember Harold Carmichael? I believe he was 6'8"

 

[LordJeffBuck]

You are correct, Nutty - he was 6'8".

 

[scarletngray]

Hopefully his older brother is already recruiting him for the Buckeye Nation! IMO, we need a tall, rangy WR. Here's hoping.... :osu:

Correct, but purdue has 6-9 Kyle Ingram, he is an absolute match up problem. I remember last year as a skinny little forsh some teams were playing wrs who were like 6-4 on him becuasue of his reach and jump ball skills. Ingram played wr like a bball 4 and played with his body well this will be the key for lyons

 

[BretGoBlue]

Could be a good TE

If he's not done growing yet he could turn into a monter tight end. 6'8" with 4.65 speed would be a huge target. Hopefully he likes cuz better then his big bro!

 

[BuckNutty]

Hopefully he likes cuz better then his big bro!

Is that some sort of secret weasel code I'm not familiar with?? :p

 

[BretGoBlue]

Well Devon Lyons is Ryan Mundy's cousin

So that would mean that the upcoming Lyons is also cousins with Ryan Mundy.

 

[BuckNutty]

Gotcha. My money is on his brother.
