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.

 

Mopes are lucky the Mods locked that other thread because Crow was going to be served.

 

FLIGHT OF THE CONCHORDS!!!

I see you are a man of culture.

 

Nah. Very different players. He is definitely far more in reubens mold though at least at first glance. Not as advanced coming out of high school but we don't need him to be either. Dj is definitely a far better pass rusher. Much deeper tool box he can rely on. Not gonna try to pick the kid apart. He's a **** good pick up and more proof that in this nil era you can flip anyone at any given second. Let's not start ****ting on Dj now. Just my thought. I wouldn't do it.

both ELITE AF. We can have preferences but DJ Jacobs is a stud. Right now he is more advanced technique wise.

However I think sky is the limit for Bryant and I see him as a future first rd pick as well .

Let's go land both.

 

I was thinking in the cuck chair watching his wife get wrecked

I think you've got your SEC Head Coaches mixed up.

Kiffin is more likely to be trawling the sorority houses on campus.

@KING NOLA

Who the fck is lucas and why he get crossed up

This makes my heart sing!

 

If Miami can somehow pass A&M on the class rankings that would be genuinely hysterical.

The only thing better would be if Mario flips someone from their class that's put us over.
