Ohio State Commitment Jordan Lyle Flips to Miami Hurricanes

Mario Cristobal and the Miami Hurricanes keep adding top-notch prospects to their 2024 recruiting class. This time, it’s Fort Lauderdale (Fla.) Saint Thomas Aquinas running back Jordan Lyle who will be joining the fold. It’s a tough loss for Ohio State as he committed to the Buckeyes back on April 29, 2023.

Lyle took an official visit to The U (Dec. 15) and that is probably the final factor for him making the switch to Miami. He’s going to be closer to home by selecting the Canes, too. That could be another prime factor. Here are the statistics for Lyle, per Max Preps, for his 2023 senior season:

113 attempts, 1,259 yards, an 11.1 average, and 20 touchdowns. Lyle is also responsible for 12 receptions, 157 yards, and an 11.2 average.

The 6-foot and 195-pound running back is truly an all-around football player and one that leads by example. He’s often the one that STA coaches use to show other players how to go through a drill and be consistent in doing so.

For the Hurricanes, adding Lyle to an already talented running back room will give the Canes the depth and talent needed to compete at a truly elite level. One could even argue that Miami’s 2024 running back depth chart is as good as any in the nation.

Lyle is the #78 player in the country per the Rivals recruiting rankings.
