That is really great news!  He received over 40 scholarship offers, including many name schools.  He is from Fort Lauderdale, so the Orange Bowl win sure didn\'t hurt!

Also good news is that according to both Lyons and linebacker Sarao, Harbaugh was honest with them about the NFL while recruiting them.  That hopefully will help us keep this class together.

And here is an excellent article about Lyons.. He want to be an engineer and started taking calculus in the 10th grade:

I can\'t help but wonder if the 49ers job hadn\'t opened up, whereby Harbaugh doesn\'t even have to move, whether he would have chosen Miami over Stanford.

Watched part of the US Army game and he was closing in on plays with insane speed. They also mentioned that he has only received one B in high school so far... AP Chemistry in the 10th grade. I was too scared to take AP Chem in high school, let alone in the 10th grade, so major props to him. Great addition to the Stanford family.

Wow, he sounds even more awesome than I thought he was.  Our football team needs more engineers :)
