As I reflect on my journey, I am grateful for the love, support, and encouragement I have received from the USC Trojan basketball family. This community has helped shape me into the person and player I am today.
To my teammates and coaches, thank you for believing in me, challenging me, and pushing me to be my best every day. You have been my mentors, my motivators, and my family on and off the court. The lessons I’ve learned and the bonds we’ve formed will stay with me forever.
To our fantastic fans, your unwavering enthusiasm and energy have been nothing short of astounding. Every cheer, chant, and crowded arena has reminded me of the honour of representing the Cardinal and Gold. You’ve been there for me through every win and setback, and your support means everything. Thank you to the entire Trojan community for creating an environment conducive to growth, excellence, and resilience.
The chances I’ve had here at USC have helped me to pursue my aspirations and set higher goals than I ever dreamed.
As I look ahead, I promise to continue giving my all on the court and beyond, seeking to honor the tradition of this great school. Together, we’ve built something incredible, and I am happy to be part of the Trojan family forever.
Fight on,
JuJu Watkins
