A second Limar brother will lead football at a college program in Oregon

After College Football, you can see how they have been set up in different worlds.

But Jyshon Limar knows exactly how far it is from his new home – Western Oregon University in Monmouth – to the older brother, Jayden, for which Oregon Ducks in Eugune.

“An hour,” he said about the 64-mile ride. “And we will have both cars.”

Jyshon Limar, the All-State from Lake Stevens High School, made the announcement on Monday that he was signing with Wou, a Division II NCAA program as part of the 2025 university in 2025.

“Wou likes him very much,” said Tom Tri, football coach of Lake Stevens. “And the advantage for him is that he will have the opportunity to play … and to prove himself immediately.”

It was a long street with a burden of proof.

For the beginning, Jayden Limar was a announced view from Washington, how could his larger, more powerful younger brother ever do justice to this high standard?

Then the injuries – first the knee injury that forced him to miss the second year in the second year, and then as a shoulder injury as a junior, which was also operated on.

When the injuries increased, the Early Power 4 offers went on – something that Jyshon Limar was aware of.

“I understood where the coach came from,” said Limar. “I had three operations in four years of the high school.”

From talks with recruiters, he also understood that he had the chance to prove that he can stay healthy – and did as a senior. In 12 games he hurried for 1,299 yards and 24 touchdowns and added another 22 receptions for 423 yards and three other scores.

“The big thing was not missing,” said Limar. “I had the feeling that my final year was the best of everything because I could show that I could run, catch and do everything.”

And yet, on his way to redemption, the running back, which was once classified as a top-eight view (according to 247sports.com) in Washington in class 2025, was only the end of the street. None of the coaches who said that they were monitoring his progress came back with scholarship offers, he noticed.

So Limar switched the aisles and looked at the programs of the NCAA Division II and Naia. He visited Wou three weeks ago.

“I loved the staff and how well they work together,” said Limar. “And they gave me time to process all of my options.”

Limar is already completed the high school and will take part in the wolves in summer. In the meantime, he is already in his college training program and has retained a full-time job at work in a local wooden warehouse.

“When I made a (college) decision, I have much less stress,” said Limar.
