Jazzy Davidson showed why she’s already being called the next big thing for USC, leading the Trojans to a huge win without Juju Watkins. The future is officially here.
A Freshman Steps Into the Spotlight
You can’t fake it in college basketball. Either you’ve got that “it” factor or you don’t—and Jazzy Davidson’s got it. In just her first real test as a college player, the USC freshman went off and showed everyone exactly why she was rated the No. 1 recruit by so many scouts.
No Juju Watkins. No Kiki Iriafen. No Rya Marshall. And yet, USC still found a way to take down a tough NC State squad—and at the center of it all was Jazzy, the freshman who played like she’d been doing this for years.
Carrying USC Without Juju
When you lose your superstar in Juju Watkins, things aren’t supposed to go this smoothly. But Jazzy Davidson didn’t seem to care about expectations. She played both ends of the floor like a veteran, notching 21 points, four rebounds, four assists, three steals, and five blocks—yes, five.
It wasn’t just the stats, though. It was how she did it. Every time USC needed a bucket, she found a way. A clutch three when they were down 11, a steal when the game was slipping, and that game-winning layup when it mattered most. You could feel the energy shift every time she touched the ball.
Comparing Her to the Greats
Let’s be real—Jazzy isn’t Juju Watkins. She doesn’t have that same effortless flash or the viral clips yet. But her game is complete. She defends. She rebounds. She makes the extra pass. She impacts winning.
Some are already calling her the most balanced freshman since Brittney Griner. That might sound wild, but after this performance? It doesn’t feel so crazy.
The Next Big Duo in Women’s College Hoops
Imagine next season—Jazzy Davidson and Juju Watkins sharing the floor. That’s terrifying for the rest of the NCAA. The two might end up forming one of the most dangerous one-two punches we’ve seen in years.
It’s not hard to picture a scenario where Jazzy becomes the steady two-way anchor while Juju continues to dominate as a scorer. That’s a championship formula right there.
What Sets Jazzy Apart
There’s a quiet confidence to her game. She doesn’t need to shout or celebrate after every bucket—she just plays. Whether it’s chasing down a block on the weak side or threading a perfect pass in transition, she’s always involved.
And that’s what’s scary: she’s only going to get better. Stronger. Smarter. More confident.
The Bigger Picture
This feels like the start of something for USC. Juju put them back on the map. Jazzy might be the one who keeps them there.
Women’s college basketball is in a golden era right now—with names like Caitlin Clark, Angel Reese, Paige Bueckers, Aaliyah Chavez—and now, Jazzy Davidson is carving out her own lane.
Final Thoughts
It’s just one game, but it didn’t feel like one game. It felt like a glimpse of what’s coming. Jazzy Davidson has officially arrived, and the future of USC—and maybe all of college basketball—just got a whole lot brighter.
