Lynch originally enrolled at UCLA as a quarterback. He was a three-star quarterback and the No. 4 rated player in Colorado coming out of Legacy High School. 

The 6-foot-5, 230-pounder committed to Jim Mora's staff originally. After one season under Chip Kelly, it was clear he was going to have to switch positions if he wanted to get on the field. 

He changed positions before last season and caught one pass for a 2-yard touchdown. 

Lynch announced his intention to transfer back in January. 

He is a Colorado and Boulder County native. Lynch was born in Louisville, Colorado and went to high school in Broomfield.

His senior year in high school, he threw for 1,947 yards and 20 touchdowns completing 60 percent of his passes. He also lettered twice in basketball.

Lynch's dad, Kevin, played football at Colorado State. His grandpa, Fran Lynch, played for the Denver Broncos. And his uncle, Sean Moran, played at Colorado State and was a 4th round NFL draft pick. 

Update: Sources have informed BuffsCountry he will be a walk-on.
