Top 100 high school football prospect
Walker Lyons of
Folsom (Calif.) suffered a broken leg in the first quarter of his season opener Friday night, according to
Joe Davidson of the Sacramento Bee.
Lyons, a 6-foot-4, 230-pound tight end, is regarded as the No. 89 overall prospect in the Class of 2023 by 247Sports and committed to Stanford in July. Alabama, Georgia, LSU, Michigan, Ohio State and USC were among the 33 schools that extended scholarship offers.
As a junior, Lyons caught 42 passes for 646 yards and seven touchdowns. Those totals included a season-high 11 receptions and 155 yards in a loss to national powerhouse De La Salle (Concord) last October.
According to live scoring logs from Friday's game, the injury happened about midway through the first quarter in Folsom's highly-anticipated opener against Monterey Trail.
Walker Lyons takes the field for a Sac-Joaquin Section playoff game last November.
