Lyles was nearly unblockable this week — posting 3 sacks, a TFL, and a fumble recovery in a dominant shutout win over Auburn. His tape shows an elite first step and the ability to convert speed to power instantly, keeping offensive tackles off balance.

His hand work is polished for his age, and his ability to bend and close at the top of his rush makes him a nightmare on the edge. He shows excellent hand timing and placement, mixing swipes, pulls, and rips to stay clean through contact. Once he’s in the backfield he consistently finishes with explosive burst.

Lyles plays with a natural edge presence, understands leverage, and rarely wastes movement. And continues to establish himself as one of the premier pass rushers in the state’s 2026 class.
