Miami Hurricanes running back Jordan Lyle was arrested Thursday in Florida on charges of fleeing and eluding police at high speed and reckless driving, according to Broward County court records.
Lyle, a junior, was released on $55,000 bail. Fleeing and eluding is classified as a felony complaint, while reckless driving is a misdemeanor. The university stated it is aware of the incident involving the student-athlete and will refrain from further comment as the legal process unfolds.
The 6-foot, 205-pound player from Fort Lauderdale appeared in 18 games over the past two seasons. As a freshman in the 2024 season, he played in 12 games, rushing for 400 yards and four touchdowns on 54 carries, ranking third on the team in rushing yards. Last season, Lyle played in six games due to injury, making his first two career starts. He sustained an injury in the season opener against Notre Dame and returned in October, tallying 35 rushes for 108 yards and one score in limited activity, placing him fourth on the team in rushing yards.
Miami achieved an unexpected run to the national championship game last season, where they were defeated by undefeated Indiana. Lyle had been projected as the team's backup running back for the upcoming season behind Mark Fletcher.
