The LSU Tigers are among the top schools for the No. 10 rated player in the 2023 class, according to Rivals’ rankings.
Jayden Wayne of Tacoma has released his top schools for his recruitment. While the Tigers were among the list you can find the usual suspects in the SEC as well. Alabama, Auburn, Florida, Georgia, and future SEC team Texas were all present on his list as well.
Currently, Wayne ranks as the No. 1 player in the state of Washington and a top-three player at his position. He is listed as a defensive lineman but based on his size, Wayne might project best as a strong-side defensive end for LSU. Unless he adds some weight to his frame, playing on the interior defensive line wouldn’t be productive for him.
LSU is in a good spot with several defensive linemen and they can thank new defensive line coach Jamar Cain. His reputation of developing NFL talent speaks for itself. Wayne is also looking at his home state team, the Washington Huskies. They are joined by Oregon and USC of the Pac-12 on the list.
While it is early in the process, Brian Kelly has to like where they stand with one of the nation’s best defenders. No update has been given at this time for any visits or when he will cut down his list any further.
