Rolesville rising senior edge rusher Jayden Fry announced, via social media post on Monday afternoon, his commitment to play his college football at the University of South Florida.

The Bulls are getting a 6-foot-4, 235-pound defensive stud who is coming off a monster junior season with the Rams. In 2023, Fry made 48 tackles, including seven for loss and recorded nine sacks. He hurried opposing quarterbacks an addition 17 times, while adding three pass deflections, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery.

Fry, who informed the USF coaching staff of his decision over the weekend, selected the Bulls from a group of finalists, which included Campbell, Georgia State, Troy and Western Kentucky.
