UConn has added another member of the Ross family to its roster for the 2025-26 season.
Three-star wing and brother of UConn forward Jayden Ross, Jacob Ross, will play for the Huskies next season, he announced on Thursday.
“His personality fits Coach [Dan] Hurley in a sense of competitive passion with the way he approaches and plays the game,” Southern California head coach Julius Von Hanzlik old ZAGSBLOG. “He leaves it all on the floor. Jacob is willing to do whatever it takes to win. With Jacob being 6-6 long and athletic, we were able to do a ton of different things on both offense and defense. He legitimately guarded and played 1-5 for us. Jacob played point guard for us often as well as guard true bigs.”
Jacob Ross, who stands at 6-6, originally committed to Minnesota but he will be joining his older brother in Storrs instead.
Ross also had offers from Kansas, VCU and Old Dominion programs.
He will join a recruiting class in UConn headlined by five-star prospect Braylon Mullins and four-star prospects Eric Reibe and Jacob Furphy.
