UConn Men’s Basketball Lands Five-Star Point Guard, Son of Former NFL Star
The 6-foot-3 senior is the highest-ranked 2027 recruit to commit so far after averaging 11.9 points in Team USA’s gold-medal run.
- On Thursday, five-star combo guard NaVorro Bowman Jr. committed to UConn men's basketball, marking the program's first 2027 class commitment. Bowman, son of former NFL All-Pro linebacker NaVorro Bowman, pledged to the Huskies following a recent visit to Storrs.
- Ranked No. 1 in California and No. 11 nationally by the 247Sports Composite, Bowman averaged 20.5 points on the Nike EYBL Circuit this summer and helped Team USA win gold at the FIBA U17 World Cup.
- 247Sports Director of Scouting Adam Finkelstein described Bowman as a "true three-range threat" who shoots 42 percent from the floor. He occasionally settles for shots, converting 33 percent from three-point range on 6+ attempts per game.
- Following Bowman's commitment, UConn reportedly canceled upcoming visits for other recruits including Cayden Daughtry, King Gibson, and Micah Gordon. The program shifted its recruiting strategy after securing the top prospect.
- As the highest-ranked recruit in his class to commit so far, Bowman's decision marks a significant victory for UConn as it builds its 2027 roster. The commitment positions the Huskies competitively in the recruiting cycle.
