UConn head coach Dan Hurley attended a recent DMV live event, scouting J'lon Lyons, a four-star guard from Clinton Grace (Md.). Lyons, a highly-touted prospect in the class of 2027, is currently ranked as the second-best player in Maryland. His junior season performance, where he averaged 15.1 points, 5.5 rebounds, and 4.4 assists, earned him the Gatorade Maryland Player of the Year award.
Lyons has already secured offers from prominent programs like Texas A&M, Alabama, Florida State, Villanova, and Georgetown. While UConn has extended offers to other top 2027 prospects, they have yet to offer Lyons. His recent performances at Team USA Minicamp and NBPA Top 100 camp have significantly boosted his stock, with scouts noting his potential to enter the top 30 nationally.
