UConn basketball gets transfer portal commitment from Jaye Nash
Jacksonville State transfer guard Jaye Nash has committed to UConn basketball, On3’s Joe Tipton reported Saturday. Nash was on an official visit to Storrs on May 6, Sam Kayser reported.
The 6-foot-3, 195-pound rising junior spent his freshman year at Tulsa before transferring to Jacksonville State last season. With the Gamecocks, Nash averaged 5.1 points, 4 assists and one steal per game, starting 15 of a possible 32 games at point guard under Ray Harper.
Nash, a Memphis, TN native, will slide into the role left vacant by the graduating Alec Millender — presumably acting as the third point guard behind Silas Demary Jr. and incoming freshman Junior County.
Although his penchant for facilitating served him well last season — finishing fifth in Conference USA in assists (129) — Nash will need to upgrade from a moribund 30% mark from the field.
Nash is the 11th member of UConn’s 2026-27 roster and the fifth transfer portal addition.
