Texas offers No. 1 player from Washington in defensive end Jayden Wayne

On Tuesday, Steve Sarkisian and Texas offered strongside defensive end Jayden Wayne. The 247Sports composite five-star has begun to explode.

Steve Sarkisian is once again attempting to build good recruiting relationships in his former home state. The former Washington head coach has kept his west coast connections, even after moving to the other side of the Mississippi before landing in Austin.

On Tuesday, Sarkisian offered strongside defensive end Jayden Wayne. The 247Sports composite five-star has begun to explode, receiving three offers on Tuesday alone. Alabama and Miami joined the party as well.

Wayne is a member of the 2023 recruiting class, one Texas is trying to capitalize on early in the process. Four-star running back Rueben Owens has already shut down his recruitment and has now become a recruiter for the Longhorns.

With how highly ranked Wayne is, he will have options from across the nation. Pete Kwiatkowski also knows the pacific northwest well, coming straight from Washington. The defensive coordinator should be a huge factor in Wayne’s recruitment if Texas wants to stay in it.
