Some people are just good at everything they do and others just work really hard at everything. Every now and then you find people that are a combination of both. That’s Wayne Lyons. Typically when you hear about a player that’s such a standout on the field and is such a physical specimen, you have to think well they had to sacrifice something and usually it’s school work. Not this guy! Wayne Lyons will come up on the football field and smack you in the mouth. He can then turn around smack down a 100% on some honors science test as part of a routine that keeps him at a 4.8 GPA. Lyons is a standout safety with offers from all over the country and while I don’t know if he’s the best defensive back in the country, I will bet good money that there’s no other safety in the country with a 4.8 GPA that hits like this. Lyons finds the football and gets there in a hurry. His physical talent (6’0″ 190lbs, 4.5 forty) is not wasted and something tells me waste is not something they are fond of in the Lyon’s household.
