Miami running back Jordan Lyle was arrested in Broward County on felony charges of aggravated fleeing law enforcement and misdemeanor reckless driving. The 20-year-old was booked on a police warrant and later released with a combined bond of $55,000. The University of Miami acknowledged the incident but will refrain from further commenting while legal processes unfold. Lyle, entering his junior season, was previously a standout player despite injuries, rushing for 400 yards and four touchdowns as a freshman. He is competing for a significant role in a deep running back lineup as the Hurricanes prepare for their upcoming season.
