Jared Lyons has been named assistant coach for Prairie View A&M men’s basketball.

Lyons, who played one season at the University of Houston (2005-06), has been an assistant basketball coach on the high school, junior college, and collegiate level. Last season he was an assistant coach at Jacksonville College, assisting with game strategies, practice plans, player development and game film.

Lyons has also been an assistant coach at Cameron University (2015-16), Huston-Tillotson (2014-15), Fort Scott Community College (2011-12), and at Lutheran South Academy and Episcopal High School (2008-10).

“Jared is an outstanding young basketball coach,” Prairie View A&M head men’s basketball coach Byron Smith said. “He’s very familiar with the Houston area and the JUCO ranks. He’s going to wear a lot of hats in our program from video to academics, along with coaching and recruiting. I’ve known him for a long time, and I think he’s a great addition to our program.”
