After a successful year that saw his team clinch a state championship, Aiken is adamantly training and preparing for a series of official visits slated for this May and June.

The 6’4″, 305 lbs lineman has been actively participating in spring practice and working out in the weight room to boost his physical readiness for the next level. This week, recruiters from prestigious football programs including Clemson, Georgia Tech, and Virginia Tech have already visited his school, highlighting Aiken’s appeal as a top recruit.

Following that, he will travel to NC State on June 4th, then to Virginia Tech on June 13th, and finally to USC on June 20th. The USC offensive line coach, Lonnie Teasley, is also expected to meet with Aiken in the near future, as both continue their exchange about the athlete’s progression and readiness for these official visits.

Aiken remains open-minded during his recruitment process and has stated that he currently does not favor any particular school. He believes that strong communication with schools is paramount, emphasizing a desire to be a priority for the programs he is considering.
