Trojans Wire: How has IMG head coach Billy Miller helped your career so far?
Jayden Wade: Coach Billy is a great guy and coach. He has taught me so much in the little time that I have been at IMG. The toughness and experience he brings is top notch. I look forward to learning more under his program.
Trojans Wire: Would you ever consider re-classifying like previous phenoms Julian Lewis, J.T. Daniels or Quinn Ewers ?
Jayden Wade: I haven’t thought about it that at all yet, it’s still very early in my career.
Trojans Wire: Who are some of the best players who’ve ever played with or against so far in your young career?
Jayden Wade: Last year my team had a lot of top recruits. I’d say David Stone or Ellis Robinson IV — both were five stars — were the best I went against.
Also Zech Fort and Ksani Jiles are super competitive and force me to play at a high level always.
