Actually Mark, Lyles was totally a PC recruit. GA might have had some preliminary contact but I suspect not. You might be thinking of Austin Kafentzis, who also transferred. That was GA's last QB recruit. Chryst urged him to stick with his commitment even though GA had left before he signed his letter of intent. He was the wrong type of QB.
Lyles was a legacy recruit who grew up in Madison before going to high school in Arizona. His dad played at UW with Joe Rudolph, and he was one of the first kids to commit in Chryst's first full recruiting class. He arrived on campus with a bum hip and had to have surgery and after that just never seemed to get in a groove. Last year Coan moved ahead of him right away and now I suspect Vanden Boom has also passed him. I think in time Wolf would have passed him this fall and certainly Mertz would also pass him next season. Unfortunately for him, I don't think he was ever going to see the field.
Best of luck to him. Hopefully this won't impact his brother Kaden. He's in the 2-deep at o-line.
