IMG Academy’s Jayden Wade will replace three-star quarterbacks Dominic Mazzone Jr. (North Carolina) and Jayden Bradford (Liberty) this season. Football evaluators and college football programs such as USC are intensely interested in seeing how this dynamic, young prospect will evolve in the next few years before he eventually makes his college choice.
Wade is a dual-threat quarterback in the mold of former LSU and Arizona State quarterback Jayden Daniels. He even has a little Cam Newton to his game as well, already being listed at 6-3 and 190 pounds as a high school freshman. Just imagine where he will be in two years.
Wade also averaged over five yards per carry as a rusher last season, according to 247Sports.com writer Jared Mack.
