Alabama WR Jaden Upshaw is narrowing his options with a commitment announcement set for April 15. The four-star prospect has narrowed his options to Miami, Alabama, Texas A&M and Florida. A cousin of current Hurricanes wideout Daylyn Upshaw, Jaden has plenty of ties to the Hurricanes and spoke about that aspect of his recruiting process. Here’s everything Upshaw had to say following his visit during Miami’s “Spring Splash”
Recapping his overall visit:
“Coaching is great, coming out here again was great, being around everybody out here was a great feeling.”
On where Miami stands heading into his announcement:
“Miami is definitely a top school, probably one of my top schools.”
On what he saw from practice/scrimmage:
“Definitely energetic, full of intensity.”
“Offense looked electric, they’ve got some stuff they’re cleaning up but it’s a long way until the season starts.”
On the recruiting pitch from cousin Daylyn Upshaw:
“Daylyn is in my ear about Miami — Him and Mali are in my ear. It’s definitely cool, I’m going to be out with them more tonight.
“Me and Mali are close, CJ Daniels and all them too because they know me from Daylyn.”
“I’ll get a call from Daylyn saying, ‘You know what the move is,’ sometimes KB will call me with Daylyn in the background talking. Mali too.
On his recruiting process ahead of & after commitment:
“I’m going to Bama and A&M [before the announcement].”
“I’m still going to do my OV's.”
On his relationship with the coaching staff:
“KB is a down-to-earth guy. He tells you what you need to do right or wrong, he gets you right.”
“[Coach Dawson’s] a cool guy. I didn’t meet him last time I was here, but from what I’ve seen, he’s cool.”
On the biggest factors in his decision:
“How I see myself in the offense.”
“All the schools in my top four, I can see myself in the offense. It’s about which one I feel most comfortable with.”
