Lyons is the No. 245 overall prospect and No. 32 wide receiver in the 2023 cycle, according to the On3 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He is also the No. 17 player in California. 

On3 rates Lyons higher than other recruiting services, according to the Industry Comparison. Per the 2023 On300, he is the No. 130 overall prospect, No. 19 wide receiver and No. 7 player in California.

Last month, the 6-foot-2, 165-pound wideout announced a top eight of Notre Dame, Washington, Miami, Oregon, Utah, Penn State, Michigan State and Arizona State. According to the On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine, the Fighting Irish have a commanding lead for his commitment at 95.2%.

RPM was released to the public in December. The On3 engineering group teamed up with Spiny.ai to create the industry’s first algorithm and machine learning-based product to predict where athletes will attend college. 

It factors in machine learning, social sentiment, visits and historical trends. However, expert predictions are still a big piece of the RPM equation.

At the moment, Washington’s 2023 recruiting class is No. 32 in the 2023 On3 Consensus Team Recruiting Rankings and No. 4 in the Pac-12. The Huskies’ group is led by Lake Charles (La.) Lake Charles College Prep four-star cornerback Curley Reed, the No. 200 overall prospect in the On3 Consensus.

Lyons has an On3 NIL Valuation of $6.3K. The On3 NIL Valuation is an index that looks to set the standard market value for both high school and college-level athletes. The NIL valuation does not act as a tracker of the value of NIL deals an athlete has completed to date. It rather signifies an athlete’s value at a certain moment in time.

Taeshaun Lyons On3 Scouting Summary

The following is the On3 Scouting Summary for Taeshaun Lyons:

“Wiry wideout with super smooth movement patterns and big-play ability. Has a thin frame, measuring at over 6-foot-2 and around 160 pounds prior to his senior season. Registers as a good athlete, running an 11.03 second 100 meter time in addition to a 4.64 electronically-timed 40-yard dash as a junior. Dominates average to subpar competition on Friday nights. Accounted for 955 yards and 16 touchdowns on just 31 catches as a junior. 

“A threat to score every time he touches the ball at the high school level. A naturally smooth mover and has advanced routes and on-field change of direction at this stage. Shows the ability to separate within his routes in the camp setting. Ball skills are not a question, but can struggle with finishing through contact due to his relative lack of strength. Will need to continue adding mass at the college level.”
