    Colt Lyerla, Hillsboro – The Oregonian

    Colt Lyerla – best football player in Oregon… biggest in nation?

    Colt Lyerla of Hillsboro is a beast, but he may not be the beast that a magazine has him listed as being. I was recently looking at a national ranking of the top prep football players in a magazine and was a little shocked when I saw that they had Lyerla (the 2009 5A offensive player of the year) listed at over 500 pounds. Oh, he’s big… but not that big. He’s well over 200 pounds, but not quite 500 :-) No doubt is was a typo, but it was one of those typos that makes you do a double take. Not like adding an extra digit (which is obviously wrong), but the kind where someone who was not familiar with the player might be like, “wow, who is this monster?”

    Lyerla has to miss his team’s first game of the season, but look for him to have another monster year.
