Jefferson High School quarterback Cade Weldon is heading to the U.

Weldon verbally committed to the University of Miami on Monday. The Dragons rising senior announced his decision on Twitter.

"I'd like to thank my family, coaches and friends for helping me get where I am today," Weldon wrote. "Excited to be a part of a great school with an incredible tradition and coaching staff."

The son of former Florida State quarterback Casey Weldon is coming off a season where he missed the bulk of his junior year while rehabilitating a torn ACL. As a sophomore, he threw for 2,103 yards and 20 touchdowns.

In his commitment tweet, Weldon added "it's time to get a ring with the JBoys."
