Lyle jumped on my radar over the fall and winter, and I thought he was a fun watch and an obvious candidate to jump from our watchlist to our rankings. Lyle is an energetic, big-play waiting to happen. He is a sudden, smooth, but controlled athlete in the short areas when he creates his own yards and jumps across defenders. He is a form runner with the speed to carry long runs, but he will get physical to end plays if a DB can run him down. I think he’s a D1 RB prospect who could sign below that level, so there’s potential for a huge steal here.
