UConn Football lands first 2025 commit in Florida DB Jordan Rich
UConn Football added their commitment of the 2025 recruiting cycle today as American Heritage High School (FL) defensive back Jordan Rich took to social media to announce that he has committed to the Huskies.
""It’s always been a dream of mine to play both baseball and football at the college level and UConn allowed me to do that," Rich told The UConn Report. "Also the coaching staff just welcomed me and treated me like it was home."
The 5-foot-10, 168-pound athlete is currently plays for American Heritage High School, a football program that has produced countless DI football players including multi year Pro Bowler Patrick Surtain II among many others.
Now the commitment comes following an unofficial visit, as Rich was able to see the campus and the football program up close and personal.
"The visit was nice, I liked what I saw and the facilities were top tier," said Rich. "What really stood out to me is I can see the change the coaches are trying to bring to the program both on and off the field."
As mentioned above, Rich is a cornerback prospect and had a pretty solid junior season for his high school program this past season. As a junior, Rich finished with 24 total tackles (15 solo), 3.0 tackles for loss and one fumble recovery which was returned for a touchdown.
Rich is currently unranked, but is expected to receive a ranking soon. In the end, he chose the Huskies over one other offer from Western Michigan, becoming the second ever Husky to come from American Heritage joining class of 2024 punter Shane Hussar.
