While at Yale University, he was named Ivy League co-Rookie of the Year in 2014.

He was also the winner of the J. Murray Murdoch Award as Yale's Most Valuable Player.
And individual awards kept rolling in for Lyon after the 2015–16 season as he repeated as Ken Dryden Award recipient and also landed spots on the All-ECAC First Team, the All-Ivy League First Team and the All-New England First Team for the second straight year.
