Miami Football: Top 3 targets for Hurricanes in 2023 recruiting class

3. Jayden Wayne- Defensive End

One of the early top targets for Cristobal at Miami in this class is defensive end, Jayden Wayne, from Tacoma, Washington. Wayne is one of the best pass rushers and defensive linemen in the country and is already got a long list of offers that he is going to be thinking about.

At 6’5, 245 LBS, there is not much that Wayne lacks as a defensive end. Athleticism, burst, and speed are some of the traits that accompany Wayne and he puts them to use on every snap.

With Wayne being from Washington, this recruitment is going to test if Cristobal is still able to pull elite-level players from the West coast.  Wayne is a five-star player and a top 30 player nationally.

With a player of his caliber, there are going to be lots of schools to beat out for Wayne. This is going to be one of Miami’s football top targets and it would be a big win for the future of the program if they can earn his commitment.
