2019 (Soph.)—Named to the NFF/Colorado Chapter All-Academic honorable mention team … He played in all 12 games, including two on offense against Colorado State and Air Force … Played a total of 24 snaps on offense, 21 against Air Force, and had one knockdown block and one perfect play on a passing touchdown … On special teams, he played on the field goal and PAT unit.
2018 (Fr.-RS)—Played in three games and dressed for five … Dressed but did not play the first two games of the season and then played in the New Hampshire, UCLA and Arizona State games … Saw action on offense in one game, New Hampshire, and two snaps … Had one knockdown block.
2017 (Fr.)—He joined the team in January for spring drills, as he was one of two grayshirts from 2016 recruiting class … He enrolled in school for the fall 2016 semester and payed his own way to get a jump on his college education ... Ended up taking a redshirt season, but he did dress for the Washington contest.
HIGH SCHOOL—A two-year starter at offensive tackle, he earned All-District 26-6A honors as a junior and senior; he was the San Antonio co-offensive lineman of the year and an area All-Star team selection as a senior as well … Had a stellar senior season, as he allowed just one quarterback sack and just a handful of pressures while being called for just four penalties; he had numerous touchdown and downfield blocks for Churchill, which ran a balanced offense ... On defense, he was a backup performer on the line (usually the nose guard spot); he was in on 10 tackles along with five hurries, a forced fumble, a fumble recovery and half a sack; he was primarily used in situations against the run ... He played exclusively on offense as a junior, and was on the junior varsity as a freshman and sophomore (offensive tackle, defensive line) ... Under coach Ron Harris, Churchill was 6-5 his senior year, and the Chargers were 8-3 his junior year under coach Glenn Hill (they were knocked out of the playoffs both years by an eventual state semifinalist) … Also lettered once in track (throws) and played two years of junior varsity basketball as a freshman and sophomore (center/power forward).
ACADEMICS—He is pursuing a dual degree in Music and Voice Performance, and Psychology at Colorado ... He earned honorable mention status on the NFF/Colorado Chapter All-Academic team in 2019 and '20 … He owned a 3.7 grade point average in high school, which includes several honors courses … Earned second-team Academic All-State honors as a senior and was a two-time Academic All-District team member as a junior and senior.
PERSONAL—He was born on June 9, 1998 in San Antonio, Texas ... Hobbies include music – he can play four instruments: cello, violin, piano and the mandolin – and also composes music and lyrics; he appeared in two of high school annual musicals and has earned two top honors, All-Region Orchestra (violin, 2012) and All-Region Choir (2015) ... Other pastimes include swimming, playing basketball (he was on an AAU team for three years) and he has trained in boxing … A grandfather (Morris Owens) was an Army Golden Gloves Champion, and his other grandfather (Col. Robert Litle) is in the Army Air Corps Hall of Fame as he owns numerous aviation records. (Last name is pronounced Ly-tull hard T; the family changed the spelling of their last name from Litle to Lytle as it was always being mispronounced.)
