Michigan expects Wayne Lyons to be 'big plus' in secondary

Ann Arbor – The anticipation is driving Wayne Lyons crazy.

He's been thinking about it for months, since arriving in Ann Arbor, a graduate transfer from Stanford earlier this year.

The opportunity to play in the Big House.

"I'm definitely looking forward to it," said Lyons, a cornerback likely to see significant playing time immediately. "When this opportunity came along, the chance to play in the Big House, it was something I thought about."

The Wolverines have reason to expect many productive games from Lyons, who had a good career at Stanford. Lyons (6-foot-1, 193 pounds) made 128 tackles, had three interceptions and forced three fumbles, while appearing in 43 games with the Cardinal.
