Alex Mirabal loves to say that “mass kicks a**.” He went and got some mass with 6’6, 330-pound Jaden Wilkerson. The Orlando Edgewater product chose the Canes over Syracuse, Rutgers and UCF.
Wilkerson is a former basketball player who uses his natural size and athleticism to dominate smaller opponents. Wilkerson spent his first two years at Lake Nona and Lake Highland Prep, respectively, before moving up to big-school Orlando football.
Despite his movement skills, he is further ahead as a run blocker than as a pass blocker. He rose in recruiting rankings based on his senior film, and he is young for his grade. His playing style is similar to former Cane Malcolm Bunche.
