Hurricanes running back Jordan Lyle was arrested in Broward County on Thursday on charges of reckless driving and aggravated fleeing or attempting to elude a law enforcement officer at high speed, according to the State Attorney’s Office.
Lyle was booked into Broward Main Jail Thursday on a Sunrise Police arrest warrant and released on $55,000 bond the same day, according to a State Attorney’s Office spokesperson.
The aggravated fleeing is a second-degree felony, according to Broward County court records.
UM released a statement on Friday morning.
“We are aware of an incident involving student-athlete Jordan Lyle,” the statement said. “As due legal process runs its course, we will have no further comment at this time.”
Lyle, a Fort Lauderdale native and St. Thomas Aquinas High alumnus, was preparing to start his third season with the Hurricanes. Lyle had a strong freshman season in 2024, rushing for 400 yards with four touchdowns. He dealt with injuries as a sophomore in 2025, which limited his production on the field.
Lyle could play a bigger role in the Miami backfield this season.
“I see the Jordan Lyle that we saw a year ago in many respects, but with better physical traits,” Hurricanes coach Mario Cristobal said on Tuesday. “… He’s healthy, which I think is a really important part. I don’t think people really knew the extent of how banged up he was last year. And we see a full-speed player. Really excited about him.”
