Jayden Ross - College Basketball News & Rumors | FOX Sports

Breakout candidate for next season Ross is a breakout candidate for the NCAA's 2026-27 season, according to Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports.

Impact The 2020s have seen Connecticut maintain consistent excellence despite an ever-changing college landscape, so it would be unsurprising if a lesser-known Husky takes a statistical leap next season. Ross' unparalleled experience and gradual growth make him a breakout contender, especially for a team now devoid of past championship winners for UConn. In the 2026 NCAA tournament, he averaged 4.0 points, 3.0 rebounds and 1.2 steals across more than 20.0 minutes per game. At worst, the expectation is that Ross logs a regular role during Connecticut's 2026-27 season.

Re-signs with Huskies Ross will return to UConn for his senior season, per Jeff Goodman of TheFieldof68.com.

Impact Ross has been a bench piece for three seasons at UConn, but his junior year was his most productive yet. He averaged 4.6 points and 2.5 rebounds across 17.5 minutes while shooting 50 percent from the field and 39 percent from deep. The 6-foot-7 wing will look to finally earn a place in the Huskies' starting five as a senior in 2026-27.

Scores 11 in Tuesday's win Ross registered 11 points (4-6 FG, 3-4 3Pt), two rebounds and two assists in 15 minutes during Tuesday's 92-60 victory over Xavier.

Impact Ross scored double-digit points for the fourth time this season Tuesday, thanks in large part to his three three-pointers made. He took six shots from the field, his most in a game since Dec. 16, and also provided two assists on the offensive end. Although it was a good performance for the Junior, he has too small of a role in the rotation to be a consistent contributor.

Scores 13 off bench Ross ended Tuesday's 79-60 win over Butler with 13 points (6-9 FG, 1-4 3Pt), eight rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal over 25 minutes.

Impact Ross had his best performance of the season Tuesday in the Huskies' Big East opener. He shattered his previous season highs with 13 points and eight rebounds as he played 25 minutes off the bench for just the second time this season. He hit six of his nine field goal attempts and he went five for five from inside the arc. He also added one steal and one block on the defensive end. Ross has carved out a solid role in the Huskies' rotation so far this season, but this was the first time he really got a chance to shine in that role.
