247Sports five-star defensive end Jayden Wayne has collected more than 40 scholarship offers and is among the most coveted players in Washington state history.

The 6-foot-5, 245-pound edge-rusher, out of Lincoln High School (Tacoma, Washington), burst onto the scene as a priority recruit before ever stepping foot on a high school campus, and now holds offers from Alabama, Auburn, Florida, Georgia, LSU, Miami (Fla.), Michigan, Michigan State, Oregon, Texas, USC, Washington and others.

Sorting through those offers can be a daunting task, as each offers a unique opportunity.

Hoping to get a closer look at a few of his options, Wayne has set up some April visits.

This weekend, the Washington product is headed to LSU to check out the Tigers.

Following that trip, Wayne will visit Georgia beginning April 16 to take in the Bulldogs’ G-Day game, its annual spring game.

While the rest of his April slate is not yet set, Wayne said Wednesday that he is still contemplating an April 23 trip to the University of Oregon to check out their spring game, as well as a possible venture to Michigan State.

Although the blue-chip prospect has indicated his recruitment remains “100 percent open,” he released a top 11 in late January - Alabama, Auburn, Florida, Georgia, LSU, Miami (Fla.), Michigan State, Oregon, Texas, USC and Washington all made the cut.

According to 247Sports national recruiting expert Chris Singletary, Wayne projects as a future Day 2 NFL Draft pick with a significant pro upside:

“Good frame to add weight and mass. As he matures and gains more strength in the weight room he will define his body composition and reach his physical peak. Already checking in at 6-foot-4 he could top out at 270 pounds in college without compromising his athleticism.

“Good 1st step and burst off the ball. Gains ground and causes the tackle to be immediately stressed by his penetration. Very good pad level which gives the defender little area to strike as he is rushing the passer or playing the run. Shows a good motor and want-to in chasing plays with nice lateral movement. Good agility and quickness, he is light on his feet and is a smooth effortless player. Rips off of blocks and does a good job in pursuit. With added strength and technique improvement he has all the tools you want in an elite defensive lineman. You are exposed to how good an overall athlete he is when you watch him play wide receiver.”
