Jaiden Bryant is a Miami Hurricane.

The 6'4, 245 five-star DE from Columbia, South Carolina officially flipped from LSU to the Canes on Wednesday night. He is the #20 overall player in America, but as I wrote three months ago on the Bank, the staff has long valued Bryant as a top-of-the-board player:

The Canes are focused on elite players on the edge. Jaiden Bryant (Columbia, SC) might be the best player in America. He is committed to LSU but visiting the Canes on May 29th. Expect a full-court press.

Bryant was South Carolina's Co-Defensive Player of the Year, finishing his junior season with 79 tackles (23 TFL), 11 sacks, 6 FR and 1 INT. His Irmo team went 12-2 and made South Carolina’s Class AAAAA Division 2 title game.



On the track, he holds a PR of 52'1 in the shotput and also throws discus and javelin. His power has been compared to Rueben Bain, and he also has the athleticism to play offense.

Bryant visited this past weekend and told CanesInSight's Sebastian Font, “it's definitely heavy knowing Miami got two first rounders with the same coach [Jason Taylor], that’s a key piece to my recruitment.” He also praised DC Corey Hetherman: “I love the scheme — vertical upfield, my type of playstyle, my type of defense. I definitely love it.”



Bryant is Miami's 18th commit in the 2027 and its fourth five-star commit.

 

 

Wtf?!?!

 

Recruitment shut down and coming back to miami this weekend. Holy ****.

 

Strap in ya’ll, I think this crazy mutha f**ka Mario gonna go get Jacobs too.

He’s out for blood and a god **** Natty!!

Pops showed up on the pod this morning out of nowhere…

 

Jacobs next ?

 

Never wouldve thought we could be competitive with LSU children's hospital funds

We got Jackson bruh.. We "Overly Loaded"

 

We just flipped a 5 star trenches beast from the heart of SEC country.

Mario just dragged his **** and balls across Kiffin’s smug face.

This is truly insane. We’ve never recruited at this level before, at least not in the new era. WOW

 

Mario is the Boogeyman of recruiting.

 

 

I'm not trying to call you out your name or anything like that. But that's some real ****** ***** **** where in the same sentence where you're celebrating the fact we flipped a five-star defensive end so late in the cycle, You also have to point out we better get another one because it looks like we can't get the type of defensive lineman you want. Like that's real ****** bull****. That's some on the spectrum type behavior. Take 30 minutes to enjoy the fact we just flipped a top 20 in the country player, a five-star defensive end without dwelling on the facts obviously we need the types of d tackles. Everybody knows that but is this thread, in this moment the time to point that out? Ur better then that bruh.

I literally posted great flip hope we get another lmao. For our roster 1 top edge and 1 top DT is ideal, but if we aren’t landing 1 top DT (and a top ot) then yeah I really hope we get 2 top edges. This is just easy logic. I think if anything you’re the one being extremely over emotional on the spectrum behaviour. What I posted was positive. I’ve been positive the whole time lmao. You’re choosing to turn it negative.

 

 

I knew as soon as he posted Geaux Tigers the flip was coming… we seen it so many times with our players like Josh Jobe comes to mind lol

 

This is why it is so ridiculous to cry about recruiting turbulence early in the process under Mario. This dude, and his staff, will always right the ship before pen meets paper. Mario simply will not allow it to be any other way

 

I will never doubt Mario

 

Its A Great Day To Be A Miami Hurricane

 

Mario win a natty he better get a lifetime contract the next day! Argue with ya mama!

 

Wow. Let’s fkn gooooo!!!!

 

MARIO AINT BULL’ING WITH EM. He’s recruiting like that CFP Championship game loss hurts and it’s unfinished business. I LIKE IT.
