Football: Timpanogos running back will walk on at Utah
Timpanogos lineman David Kruger is getting a scholarship at the University of Utah. His teammate, Taylor Lyons, will have to be happy with preferred walk-on status.
Lyons, one of the state's most exciting players last fall for the Timberwolves, announced Friday he has accepted Utah's offer to be a preferred walk on. That means Lyons is pretty much guaranteed a spot on the team, but will receive no financial aid.
Coach Brad Molen calls Lyons one of the biggest game-breakers he has ever coached.
Lyons led the state in all-purpose yards, 2,096 and scored 21 touchdowns.
The quarterback who threw many of the passes to Lyons -- the running back had 43 receptions for 585 yards in 2007 -- is Christian Stewart. He has decided to walk on at BYU -- after an LDS Church mission.
Lyons was a Tribune first-team all-stater, and is also an excellent free safety, making four interceptions.
In track, he placed second in last spring's 5A state meet in both the 100 and 200 meters.
