REPORT: Miami looking to close in on Louisville linebacker Jaylin Alderman
It has been reported first by Matt Zenitz of 247 that Miami is expecting to land Louisville transfer linebacker Jaylin Alderman.
After not seeing any on-field action whatsoever in 2022, the 6-foot-1, 230-pound inside linebacker took on a massive role for year one under head coach Jeff Brohm, and became one of their most consistent defenders. Starting all 14 games, Alderman collected the fourth-most tackles on the team with 62 and the second-most tackles for loss on the team with 7.0, while also tallying 1.5 sacks and two pass breakups.
During his true freshman season in 2021, he delivered one of the most exciting moments of the year in Louisville’s win over UCF. With 25 seconds left and the game tied at 35, the Valdosta, Ga. native caught an interception off a tipped pass, and took it 66 yards for the game-winning pick-six. He finished that season with 16 tackles in 13 games.
His most productive game came against Boston College on Sept. 23, when he registered nine tackles, a tackle for loss and a sack. Alderman totaled at least half a tackle for loss in seven different games.
During the ACC Championship game against potential playoff contender Florida State, Alderman was effective with six tackles, 1.5 tackles for loss and half a sack.
