The 6’5 240 Edge from Tacoma, WA chose the Canes over LSU, Oregon, Georgia, Michigan State, and Alabama.
Is anyone recruiting better than Miami right now? 🔥🔥https://t.co/4pEhIWf72X pic.twitter.com/AEipbkoQDu
UM head coach Mario Cristobal tweeted out his all-too-familiar Sanatana Moss GIF, a social media tradition for the head coach after every commitment. It's worth noting that Miami defensive ends coach Rod Wright, who will likely be Wayne's primary position coach in college, retweeted this GIF.

One of the top 2023 wide receivers in the country, Tyler Williams from Lakeland (Fla.) High School, sent out his respect for Wayne's Miami commitment with this tweet.
Linebacker quality control analyst Sabbath Joseph tweeted out a clip of Dwyane "The Rock" Johnson holding up "The U". Johnson played defensive tackle at Miami from 1990-94.

Let's just say UM tight ends coach is hyped about Wayne's commitment. He can't wait to see the competitors this will result in on Miami's Greentree Practice Fields.

Defensive line coach Joe Salave'a kept it simple with his celebratory tweet. A photo of rapper Snoop Dogg holding up "The U" will suffice.

And offensive lineman and Miami commit Antonio Tripp Jr. is excited to welcome in his new teammate to the Hurricanes' highly-ranked 2023 recruiting class.

Even strength coach Aaron Field noted the run the program has been on, especially winning another recruitment initiated by Cristobal's Oregon staff -- which Feld was a part of.

Wayne announced the decision at his previous high school, Tacoma (Wash.) Lincoln, where of course the staff shared the pride in one of the program's top recruits of all-time following the decision.
Congrats to @JaydenWayne8 on his decision to commit to the U. We are proud of you! #LincolnDNA pic.twitter.com/wLretAAp16
