For the second day in a row, the Hurricanes signed a great offensive lineman from Orlando.
One day after receiving a commitment from Orlando Christian Prep offensive lineman Demetrius CampbellMiami has committed 2025 Orlando Edgewater offensive lineman Jaden Wilkerson, who announced his commitment Wednesday night.
Wilkerson chose UM over offers from Rutgers, Syracuse and UCF, among others. He paid an official visit to UM the first weekend in June.
Wilkerson is rated as a three-star prospect in 247Sports’ composite rankings. He is listed as the No. 96 offensive tackle and No. 1,230 player in the 2025 class.
Like Campbell, Wilkerson is a large forward, weighing between 6-6 and 330 pounds. In addition to his size, Miami coaches like his wingspan, intelligence and demeanor on the field, a UM source said.
“I feel like I outdo people and outdo people, if that’s a word,” Wilkerson told the Orlando Sentinel in May. “I’m going to use my athleticism and my length to my advantage and I’m going to work hard to do everything I have to do on the field.”
Wilkerson is the third offensive lineman in Miami’s 2025 class, joining Campbell and Jacksonville area forward Takaylen Muex. While the three offensive linemen are not highly rated prospects, head coach Mario Cristobal, offensive line coach Alex Mirabal and analysts like Ed Pata have developed offensive linemen since arriving at UM. Guard Anez Cooper was a similarly underrated prospect when he signed with UM and became a two-year starter in his junior year.
