It’s been a massive last six months for Spanish River WR Jayden Elder (2027). In the fall, Elder dominated under the Friday night lights, recording over 1,000 yards and 16 touchdowns and cementing himself as one of the top pass catches in Palm Beach County.

During this off-season, it’s been even bigger news for Jayden Elder, whose recruitment process has reached a sky high. Since his breakout junior campaign finished, Jayden Elder has received 12 Division I FBS Offers, bringing his total to 15 and counting.

As his recruitment process reaches climax, Jayden Elder has began the process of citing his top schools and scheduling Official Visits. Earlier this morning, Elder released on social media that he’d be scheduling an OV with the Pitt Panthers for May 28-30.

When asked about what he looks for most in a program, Jayden Elder kept it simple, stating he’s looking to develop and win on and off the field:

The biggest thing for me is a program that feels like family. I want to build strong relationships with the coaches, players, and support staff. Development is huge part of it for me too, I want to be challenged and compete every day.” Elder stated. “I would love to earn early play time opportunities and a plan to help me grow on and off the field. Academics matter a lot to me, because I want to be set up for my life after football. Most importantly, I want to be in a program where competing for championships is the standard every year.”

Jayden also shared with me this is currently his only scheduled Official Visit, but plans to set more in the very near future. Other programs to watch include South Florida, Tulane and Louisville.
