Jordan Blount brings a pro-ready, high-rebounding forward profile to UIC
Jordan Blount is a 6-foot-8 forward whose calling card is toughness, rebounding, and all-around production: in his final UIC season, he averaged 9.3 points and 5.6 rebounds in 2018-19, then 6.3 points and 4.0 rebounds in 2019-20 after returning from an injury-affected start[2][4]. He also has strong international pedigree, including 13.7 points, 8.7 rebounds, and 4.2 assists per game for Ireland in 2025 FIBA pre-qualifiers, which suggests a versatile, physical connector rather than a one-dimensional scorer[1]. He fits best as a rugged, experienced frontcourt piece who can rebound, handle contact, and impact winning without needing touches to dominate the ball[1][4].
