Miami<\/a> running back Jordan Lyle has been slated to take the next step this season after the Canes’ championship appearance last year, but his season is not off to the best start.<\/p>\n

The 20-year-old rising junior was arrested<\/a> in Broward County on Thursday on a felony complaint of aggravated fleeing or eluding law enforcement, court records say.<\/p>\n

Lyle is accused of driving “in any manner which demonstrates a wanton disregard for the safety of persons or property” and “willfully” trying to get away from police.<\/p>\n

“We are aware of an incident involving student-athlete Jordan Lyle. As due legal process runs its course, we will have no further comment at this time,” Miami said in a statement.<\/p>\n

Lyle appeared in six games last year while backing up ACC rushing leader Mark Fletcher Jr. He showed promise early on but suffered an injury in Miami’s first game of the season and never fully recovered. He returned several weeks later but was shut down after Miami’s Nov. 8 game against Syracuse<\/a>, having never played more than eight snaps upon returning.<\/p>\n

In his abbreviated time, he had 35 carries for 108 yards and a touchdown. In his freshman season, he averaged a whopping 7.4 yards per carry (54 rushes, 400 yards) and scored four times in his 12 games played.<\/p>\n

Lyle’s arrest comes just days after head coach Mario Cristobal sang his praises amid what’s been reported as a strong camp.<\/p>\n

“I see the Jordan Lyle that we saw a year ago in many respects, but with better physical traits,” Cristobal said Tuesday after practice. “He is healthy 1786750452, 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 the full speed player now. I am really excited about him.”<\/p>\n

“Jordan has taken strength and conditioning very seriously and he has certainly improved his change of direction and acceleration and deceleration rates,” Cristobal added.<\/p>\n
