3-star small forward Jayden Ross commits to UConn

Class of 2023 three-star small forward Jayden Ross has committed to UConn, he told On3.

The 6-foot-7, 180-pound prospect out of Sharpsburg (Md.) St. James School chose the Huskies over Penn State, Virginia Tech, Temple, George Mason, and others.

He becomes the Huskies’ second commitment to the 2023 class, joining four-star shooting guard Stephon Castle (No. 31).

Ross ranks as the No. 152 overall prospect in the class of 2023, according to the On3 Consensus — a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He’s also the No. 30 overall small forward in the country.

Jayden Ross on his commitment to UConn

“UConn just felt right,” Ross said to On3. “It is the complete package; strong connection with the coaches, players that believe in the program, and great academics. The coaches truly believe in me and will help maximize my potential. My uncle and aunt are alumni and I look forward to being closer to family I don’t get to see often. I am excited to be a part of the program!”
