Top school: Miami Hurricanes

Breland is strongly considering the Miami Hurricanes. The Hurricanes need to have recruiting success with players like Breland in order to continue to make up ground in the ACC.

Top school: Georgia Bulldogs

Aydin Breland recently wore some Georgia gear for a Mater Dei game.

The five-star visited Athens, Georgia, for the Georgia versus South Carolina game. Breland has to be impressed with Georgia’s recent success at producing NFL draft picks along the defensive line. The Bulldogs had two defensive linemen selected in the first round of the 2023 NFL draft.

Head coach Kirby Smart and Georgia have the nation’s No. 1 recruiting class in the 2024 recruiting cycle. The Bulldogs are recruiting at a very high level and aren’t afraid to recruit elite talent from the West Coast.

Out of the running: Texas A&M

Breland took an official visit to Texas A&M this summer, but is likely going in another direction. The Aggies have been a recruiting powerhouse recently, but have not had a good product on the field.
