JAQUAN LYLE
ANNOUNCED HE HAD LEFT THE TEAM ON MAY 13, 2017
In a recap of extraordinary, abnormal happenings, Lyle’s situation stands out.

The last remaining member of the Thad Five originally committed to Louisville and signed with Oregon but wasn’t able to play for the Ducks, sending him to IMG Academy for a year of prep school. Once on campus at Ohio State, Lyle became a starting guard, averaging 11.3 points, 4.4 assists and four rebounds per game across two seasons.

On May 13, 2017, Lyle’s citations for three misdemeanor charges – public intoxication, criminal mischief to a vehicle and disorderly conduct – came to light. In a surprising statement, an Ohio State spokesman confirmed Lyle had quit the team on April 11, 2017, though the team hadn’t acknowledged that before then.

Lyle ended up at New Mexico, sitting out the 2017-18 season. He then suffered a ruptured Achilles tendon, holding him out the 2018-19 season. Finally, Lyle got back onto the court to average 14.9 points, 4.6 assists and 4.2 assists per game in 2019-20. The successful year on the court was somewhat marred by a shooting at an Airbnb party he hosted in January.
