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.

 

I’m still looking for King Ebola…

 

There was a whole lotta estrogen flowing through King Nola when he posted that tweet

Who gives a **** what he thinks the reason is? Will that help him feel better when he's an AA here?

I certainly don't

 

I’m so proud, haven’t seen anyone suggest future DT for this kid. #Growth

Usually over the past 10-15 years, whenever we snag an LB over 6’2, people automatically throw out the “iS tHiS kId GoInG tO bE aN EDGE?!?” Same goes for any DL that is 250, albeit not as much as the LB —> EDGE idea.

I know. I was being facetious

no need to ask for a switch to DT when he comes with his own.

 

**** I wish this was longer

 

Since he’s coming back to the campus this weekend, does that mean we have a secret visitor for him to recruit (i.e. Jacobs )

You think Jacobs is secret?

Wait until he's listed at 270

When we snag a purported LB who has lined up at DE and rarely played in space, I assume he's going to end of at DE. And it doesn't matter if he 6'0 210 or 6'4 250. Guys that are accustomed to lining up with their hand on the ground generally don't all of sudden learn to play LB at 18-19 years old.

 

LSU thinks UM dropped a on Bryant. And so ..... Remember Patrick Petersen? Ya'll musta forgot.
