Preston Lyons

[wesleyd21]

I keep reading his name over and over again on all of these practice reports. He seems to be making a name for himself.

Unfortunately, he's BURIED on the depth chart at the B-back position.

I haven't been to a single practice and don't have a clue what this kid's measurables are or anything.

How do we use Preston?

Can he be the guy to fill Lipfert's shoes on special teams?

I look forward to seeing this kid on the field in some capacity. He's clearly making heads turn, but you have to consider the competition he faces when below guys like Dwyer, Watson and Cox on the depth chart.

Having depth is a good problem.

Hopefully Preston can get some action in mop up duty.

Go Jackets!

I bet if he was given a drive in the second or third quarter in the early mopup game and was told he'd keep getting one a game as long as he did okay he'd be a hard running son of a gun while he was in there. Then everybody else would be that much fresher later.

It is the option - be like Oklahoma in the 70's and use so many guys you can't keep up with all of 'em.

"set school record of career rushing yards (3,707) and career touchdowns (61)"

@ Marist, that's sayin' something.

He might be a better B back than Cox.

He might be a better B back than Cox.

He is, Lyons was a stud at Marist.

As I've yet to attend spring practice... who has been more impressive thus far... Lyons or Watson?
