Jaylen McClain may be completing his sophomore year of high school, but the four-star defensive back is already being heavily recruited by some of the top programs in the nation.
McClain, a 6-foot, 175-pound cornerback from Seton Hall Prep (West Orange, N.J.), is a class of 2024 prospect who has pulled down a number of Power Five offers. According to 247Sports, he is the second-best player in New Jersey for the class of 2024 and the No. 154 overall prospect.
He told RutgersWire this week that he thinks a couple of other prominent programs could be checking in with offers very soon.
“I think Notre Dame is close to offering but I also plan to go to an Alabama camp at one point during the summer,” McClain said.
McClain also said that seven programs are after him the hardest. Four of those programs are from the Big Ten, two from the ACC and one from the SEC.
“Georgia, Michigan, Rutgers, Syracuse, Michigan State, Boston College and Penn State,” McClain said when asked which programs are currently after him the hardest.
