University of Connecticut star Azzi Fudd has officially signed with Jordan Brand, adding another rising talent to the company’s growing women’s basketball roster.
The Virginia native is widely projected to be the No. 1 overall selection in the upcoming 2026 WNBA Draft. At just 23 years old, Fudd has already built an impressive résumé. Her accomplishments include National Player of the Year recognition and helping lead the UConn Huskies to the 2025 NCAA Championship. Earlier in her career, she also became the youngest American women’s player to compete in a FIBA U16 tournament.
By joining Team Jumpman, Fudd becomes part of a respected group of Jordan Brand athletes. The women’s roster already includes notable names such as UConn legends Maya Moore and Napheesa Collier. Her addition reflects Jordan Brand’s continued investment in the growth of women’s basketball and the next generation of elite players.
In a statement announcing the partnership, Fudd expressed excitement about representing the iconic Jumpman logo. She explained that growing up watching Jordan Brand athletes inspired her, and joining the company now represents both an honor and a responsibility. Fudd emphasized her desire to build on the legacy created by past legends while also helping showcase the future of women’s basketball.
Jordan Brand has also been expanding its NIL lineup with young prospects, including Cameron Boozer, Cayden Boozer, Kiyan Anthony, and Kiki Rice. Fudd’s agreement extends beyond college and will continue as she begins her professional career.
As her journey toward the WNBA begins, all eyes will be on how Azzi Fudd represents Jordan Brand on and off the court while inspiring the next wave of athletes. To shop all things “His Airness,” head over to Nike.com/Jordan.
