"I am going to look at my options. Some teams are saying offense, many are saying defense, and others are saying either," said Colt adding "As much as I love having the ball in my hands my goal ultimately is to earn a place on the field Saturdays and then Sundays so wherever I project best for that makes the most sense to me."
He was Oregon State MVP for 2009; First Team All State Offense, First Team All State Defense, and the NWOC Player of the Year.
This Summer he blew up the scene as he broke the Broad Jump and Vertical Jump records held by the Carolina Panthers Jonathan Stewart. The Broad Jump record was 10'8" but Colt broke that with three separate jumps of 10'10". His Vert was 40" beating a 38.5" previous mark.
"He reminds you 100% of Brian Urlacher and can do all the things he did and dare I say...maybe more! He has great feet, tremendous explosion off the ball, and spectacular body control," said Football Combine Master Dave Schuman.
"This Summer I will probably make a Nike NFTC Camp back east somewhere. Miami wants me to come to camp and are recruiting me really hard so I think I might go out there and see what that is like. I am wide open right now on where I am going and where I will consider," added Lyerla.
