Basketball Star Azzi Fudd

Early Basketball Career 

College basketball player Azzi Fudd has shown she is one of the toughest players in women’s basketball. She proved this even before she played on the University of Connecticut courts. 

While in high school, the now UConn Huskies team player was ranked as the number one recruit in her class by ESPN. In 2019, she was named the Gatorade National Girls Basketball Player of the Year. Her impressive stats supported this award. 

During her high school years, Fudd attended the SC30 Select camp twice. This camp is run by Stephen Curry. 

She was one of the first girls to attend. She won the camp’s three-point shooting competition both years. This was impressive because she was healing from a torn MCL and ACL the second year. 

This injury occurred while playing in the final qualifiers for the FIBA Under-18 World Cup which she did not end up playing. She played for the USA Team in the FIBA U16 (2017), FIBA U17 (2018), and FIBA U19 (2021) World Cups. She won gold medals each time. 

College Career 

Fudd announced her commitment to the University of Connecticut in 2020 and debuted for the school in 2021. By her sophomore year, she was breaking records. She scored 56 points, setting a new record for the most points ever scored by a UConn player in the first two games of the season. 

Her junior and senior years were cut short because of an ACL injury. Still, she achieved great stats. She scored a personal best of 34 points in one game during her senior year. 

In 2025, she finished her senior year by winning the Most Outstanding Player award. This came after her first national championship win, where she scored 24 points and grabbed 5 rebounds.
