I know that both Lyons and true-freshman Alex Carter are projected as cornerbacks, and I'm certain that the coaching staff wants relatively tall corners (6 foot +) both to help handle some of the larger receivers in the conference (i.e., Woods and Marquis from USC), and for help against the run.  BUT, circumstances have a way of changing things, and it really wouldn't be a surprise if we find that we have a surplus of solid CBs (Brown, Browning, Lyons, Carter, Ronnie Harris) if one of them was moved over to a S position for a year.  If Hoffpauir and Madhu develop sufficiently in their first year, you can always move Lyons/Carter back to CB.  It might not be ideal, but if it shored up the defense for this year I would say its a real possibility, especially if injuries hit (as they already have with Olugbode)
