No stats from the 2020 season were provided.
A Maryland native, Lytton spent two seasons at Florida State before transferring to Penn State. In 2019, he played in 12 games and made a start for the Seminoles. He totaled 14 tackles, including 1 for loss, and forced a fumble. A year earlier, he played in 10 games and also tallied 14 stops with 2 pass break-ups and an interception.
Lytton was a 4-star member of the 2018 recruiting class, ranking as the No. 50 overall prospect in the cycle. 247Sports’ composite rankings also listed him as the No. 7 cornerback in the class.
Lytton still has a year of eligibility remaining and a redshirt year available to utilize at his next destination.
