Jaylen McClain is one of the top safeties in the class of 2024 and he’s drawing interest from a number of elite programs around the country.

The 4-star safety out of Orange, New Jersey, has cut his list of top schools down to 10.

As you can see below, it was revealed on Twitter on Sunday morning that McClain was still considering a pair of SEC schools — Georgia and Tennessee:

Those 2 SEC programs will compete with Michigan, Penn State, Oregon, Michigan State, Rutgers, Notre Dame, USC and Stanford for McClain’s services in 2024 and beyond.

Per the 247Sports composite rankings, McClain is the No. 21 safety in the class of 2024 and the No. 4 overall recruit from the state of New Jersey.
