Canes flip Ohio State RB commit Jordan Lyle

Dec 18, 2023

Mario Cristobal and staff landed their second commitment of Monday night – this time flipping Ohio State RB commitment Jordan Lyle of St. Thomas Aquinas.

Canes RB coach Tim Harris, Jr. has been on Lyle’s trail for a while now in a flip from the Buckeyes that gives the Hurricanes three running back commitments for the 2024 class. Lyle joins Kevin Riley and Chris Wheatley-Humphrey.

The Aquinas product is ranked as the #11 RB in the country according to the 247sports composite, #20 player in Florida, and #145 player in the country. He had been committed to Ohio State since April.

Gaby officially putting in the pick for Riley to flip to Bama.

That sucks considering we prioritized him and they didn't until they missed out on their targets

Went through his latest tape, posted December 14th, 2023:

- 130 att, 1376 yds, 21 TDs on the ground
- height and weight similar to CWH
- runs with good knee bend, has some sneaky speed once the field opens
- runs absolutely violent, has great contact balance and uses it well
- loves to drop the shoulder
- his cuts on full speed are really impressive, stops really fast and accelerates well

Love the kid. I wonder if he is able to get into the 200 pound range as a RB.

Feel better about losing that bama kid now lol. Our backfield will be comprised of 4 kids from south Florida and one kid with the last name Martinez who isn’t from soflo. The irony

Gotta pray though Fletcher comes back at some point cuz if injury strikes Martinez or Lyle that's no bueno relying on smaller backs like CJ & CWH

Yeah he looks ready. Really wish he was an EE but he should be worked in by week 2. Not sure who shares snaps week 1 with Martinez.

I always loved our attitude in those days brother straight faced focused.

I remember watching Moss warm up at field level from Monte’s Hurricane Club in east end zone.
It something to be hold Moss returning punts his instant afterburner was absolutely amazing to watch.

EPIC

I'm guessing Chris Johnson will get that first crack. I just wonder if the rb room affects our game plan and coerces Dawson to be more aggressive with passing play calls. That might work out well for us.

Lyle?

He’s closer to 205 and in a great spot to contribute immediately here.

This kid is ready to go. He's going to play early and often. He'll be our #2 within a few games assuming Fletcher isn't already back.

People acting like he was small (even saying he was smaller than Riley) was insane to me.

He was 190-something before the season started last year.

He’s been working out with a guy down here (speed and explosion) and he’s put on a good 12-15lbs since January.

I’m sure he’ll lose some going thru training camp, but he’s big enough to contribute week one at Miami.

He looks the part. He’s plenty strong enough to play as a freshman. Martinez is the horse. Lyle can get Carries. Johnson and Allen will get time. Fletcher had a bad foot injury. Apparently Lofton was back there maybe as a power guy? But Lyle will be just fine.

Does he give anyone else Duke Johnson vibes with how he runs and avoids contact? Just gave me a vibe of Duke, bit of power, lots of make you miss. Also very very sudden in his movements and doesn't lose speed.

Lamar Miller vibes
