West Clermont HS
(OH)
GPA - 3.3
TOP 2028 TE RECRUIT
Scouting notes - Top 2028 TE recruit Bryce Lyttle out of West Clermont HS (OH) is already establishing himself as one of the most physical and reliable blockers in his class. At 6’2”, 250 pounds, Lyttle has started on varsity since his freshman season at both TE and H-Back, showcasing a rare blend of strength, grit, and football IQ that makes him a tone-setter in the trenches. He excels at engaging defenders quickly, driving them off the ball, and turning them per play design, using his powerful lower body and relentless motor to consistently win blocking matchups. Lyttle’s size and versatility give him the ability to project at multiple positions across the offensive line if needed, though his natural fit as a traditional, run-first tight end makes him an ideal candidate for a power-running system like Iowa’s. His tenacious work ethic and physical style of play set him apart, and with continued development as a pass catcher, he has the potential to become a highly coveted all-around tight end at the next level. Whether he develops into a blocking-first college TE or bulks up to transition into the offensive line, Lyttle is one of the most complete and polished blocking tight ends in the 2028 recruiting class coming out of Ohio.
