Jaylin Stewart, a forward for the University of Connecticut (UConn) Huskies, is set to enter the NCAA transfer portal, as confirmed by his representatives at Klutch Sports. During the 2025-26 season, Stewart played a crucial role for UConn, starting 12 games out of 32 appearances and contributing 4.2 points, 2.6 rebounds, and 1.1 assists per game. His performance helped the Huskies reach the national championship game, where they finished the season with a 34-6 record. Stewart's journey at UConn began in the 2023-24 season when he averaged 2.5 points and 1.2 rebounds in 37 games, contributing to the team's national title win. As a highly-rated four-star prospect from Seattle's Garfield High School, he was ranked the No. 60 player nationally in the 2023 recruiting cycle. Stewart's decision to transfer follows a trend, as he becomes the fifth player from UConn to enter the portal this offseason, alongside center Eric Reibe. UConn has also secured a transfer from former Seton Hall forward Najai Hines, who averaged 6.5 points and 5.5 rebounds last season.
