Rivals100 WR Jaylen Waddle considers his final six

SAN ANTONIO – Among the unsigned Rivals100 prospects left in the 2018 class, few are still considering as many programs Houston (Tex.) Episcopal wide receiver Jaylen Waddle. With no more official visits available to him, the four-star is left to contemplate his finalists over the next month.

THE LATEST

Waddle declared his top six schools of Alabama, Florida State, Oregon, TCU, Texas and Texas A&M back in September, and has maintained that group even with the Seminoles and Aggies going through coaching changes. He took official visits to all but Texas, but is trying to schedule an unofficial visit to Austin before National Signing Day if his basketball schedule will allow him to make that trip. Head coach in-home visits remain, but otherwise Waddle is left with his previous experiences and research to make this decision.

IN HIS WORDS

“I already have good relationships; it will just be wherever I feel like I’m comfortable, stability and where I think I am going to be successful at the most. I’ll really sit down and look at it, take all six schools and just chop them down and see which one is for me.”

RIVALS’ REACTION

There has been a lot of Texas and Texas A&M talk around Waddle, but the Houston-area prospect said the other four schools are definitely still in the conversation. He has the closest relationship with the group of commits and signees at Texas, but has the closest coach relationship with Marcus Arroyo at Oregon. He feels the systems at TCU and Texas fit his game best, but honestly felt comfortable on every campus he visited. Those are the choices Waddle will wade through before he signs on Feb. 7, but he said a decision could come before then.
