University of Washington freshman wide receiver Taeshaun Lyons has entered the NCAA transfer portal, according to reports. The news comes as a surprise to many fans, as Lyons was expected to be a key contributor to the Huskies’ offense this season.
Lyons, a four-star recruit from Tacoma, Washington, was one of the most highly-touted wide receivers in the 2020 recruiting class. He was expected to be a major contributor for the Huskies this season, but it appears he has decided to transfer.
The 6-foot-2, 195-pound wideout was a standout at Tacoma’s Lincoln High School, where he caught 41 passes for 814 yards and 11 touchdowns as a senior. He also had offers from Oregon, Arizona State, and Boise State, among others.
It’s unclear why Lyons has decided to transfer, but it could be related to the uncertainty surrounding the upcoming college football season due to the coronavirus pandemic. It’s also possible that Lyons felt he wasn’t getting enough playing time with the Huskies.
Whatever the reason, it’s a big loss for the Huskies. Lyons was expected to be a major contributor this season, and his absence will be felt. It will be interesting to see where Lyons ends up and how he performs at his new school.
For now, all we can do is wish him the best of luck in his future endeavors.
