UConn Football Recruiting: Southington QB Jasen Rose Commits to Huskies

Bob Diaco and his staff continue to score big wins on the recruiting trail.

Another top Connecticut high school football player is staying home to play for the state's flagship university.

Southington High School's Jasen Rose, who is widely considered one of the top Connecticut prospects, committed to the the UConn football team Thursday afternoon. The Huskies were able to keep him home despite offers from numerous Football Bowl Subdivision and Power-5 schools.

Syracuse, Wake Forest and Wisconsin were the other three programs in his final four. The 6-foot-3-inch quarterback is the Huskies' third in-state recruit in the class of 2016, after Glastonbury's Keyion Dixon and Suffield Academy's Tahj Herring.
