ORLANDO – The UCF men’s soccer team has announced the addition of Leny Jérôme to its fall 2026 roster, a sophomore defender out of his native Boulogne sur mer, France.
A product of Lycée la hotoie school in Amiens, France, Jérôme most recently saw international action in the Championnat National 2 during the 2025-26 season, during which his team finished seventh and reached the round of 32 in the finals of the Coupe de France.
He was also previously a member of the 2024-25 Championnat National 3 championship team, an effort that aided in securing his promotion.
“I chose UCF because the program offers a great balance between high-level soccer and academics,” he said. “The facilities are outstanding, the team has strong ambitions, and the coaching staff believes in helping players reach their full potential. I also wanted to challenge myself, improve as a player, earn a degree, and experience life in the United States.”
