Miami is bringing the entire running back room back for next season.
Running backs Jordyn Lyle and Marty Brown both announced they’re returning, meaning the Hurricanes won’t lose a single scholarship back to the transfer portal.
Lyle saw limited action this past season but still made the most of his touches. He finished the year with 108 rushing yards and one touchdown, averaging 3.1 yards per carry, and added a few catches out of the backfield when his number was called.
Brown was the more physical option in the backfield and handled a lot of the hard runs. He ended the season with 474 rushing yards and seven touchdowns. Brown also caught 20 passes for 138 yards and two more scores, and was a trusted option on third downs.
With Lyle and Brown both back, Miami keeps its depth and familiarity at running back. No portal losses at the position is a good sign for the Hurricanes heading into the offseason.
