Happy 24th birthday, Azzi Fudd! 💙✨
From out-shooting elite competition at Stephen Curry's camps to watching her No. 35 jersey chiseled into Gampel Pavilion history, Azzi Fudd’s journey is built on generational shooting and pure, unshakable resilience.
Inside her storybook rise:
- Blessed by the best:
At just 15 years old, @azzi_35 walked into Curry's SC30 Select Camp as one of the first female athletes invited and won the three-point competition outright. After winning it again while recovering from knee surgery, Curry handpicked her as the very first college athlete and first female athlete - to sign a historic brand deal with SC30 Inc.
- Immortality in Storrs:
Inducted as the 25th player in @UConnWBB history into the prestigious Huskies of Honor, cementing her legacy alongside all-time program legends after guiding the Huskies to the 2025 NCAA Championship as Final Four Most Outstanding Player.
- The high school prodigy:
Became the first sophomore ever to win Gatorade National Player of the Year at St. John's College High School before entering college as ESPN's consensus No. 1 overall recruit.
- Making WNBA history:
Selected No. 1 overall by the @DallasWings in the 2026 WNBA Draft, signing the most lucrative rookie deal in league history and setting the WNBA rookie record for winning the Three-point contest!
- The family lineage:
Named after 1996 Olympic gold medalist Jennifer Azzi by her mother (former WNBA draft pick Katie Smrcka-Duffy Fudd), carrying basketball royalty in her blood while carving out a historic path of her own.
Wish Azzi Fudd the happiest 24th birthday down in the comments! 🎉
