Miami EDGE Jayden Wayne plans to enter NCAA transfer portal

Miami EDGE Jayden Wayne plans to enter the NCAA transfer portal, his father, Donald Wayne, tells Steve Wiltfong of On3.

Wayne logged stats in six games for the Hurricanes as a true freshman in 2023. He finished his time with Miami having recorded 13 total tackles, including four solo and 0.5 sacks.

Before enrolling at Miami, Wayne was a four-star recruit out of IMG Academy by way of Tacoma, WA. He was ranked as the No. 85 player in the 2023 class, including the No. 11 EDGE rusher in his class, and the No. 20 player in the state of Florida, according to the On3 Industry Rankings, a proprietary algorithm that compiles ratings and rankings from all four primary recruiting media services.

According to Wayne’s On3 bio, Wayne emerged early on in his high school career as one of the best players in the state of Washington. He started as a freshman at Lincoln Way and was named an Adidas All-American and was even invited to play in the All-American Bowl.

Wayne chose Miami over offers from Oregon, LSU, Georgia, Alabama, Michigan State, Auburn, Florida, Florida State and Tennessee among others. He has said that his time at IMG Academy helped him transition to major Division I college football because it replicates the college experience so much.

Wayne also put on 20 pounds last offseason to help his success on the edge, going from 220 to 240 before ever taking a snap for Mario Cristobal’s squad. Now, he’ll look to put that power to use elsewhere as he looks for a new home out of the NCAA transfer portal.
