Azzi Fudd is a distinguished American college basketball player who plays as a guard for the University of Connecticut (UConn) Huskies in the Big East Conference. Born on November 11, 2002, in Arlington, Virginia, she attended St. John’s College High School in Washington, D.C., where she earned national recognition as the top recruit in her class.
Throughout her college career at UConn, Fudd has achieved several accolades, including:
- First-Team All-Big East (2025)
- Big East All-Freshman Team (2022)
- NCAA Tournament Bridgeport All-Region Team (2022)
In her junior season (2023-2024), Fudd averaged 12.7 points per game and earned All-Big East First Team honors. However, her season was marred by a significant knee injury, leading to her decision to return for a fifth year to further develop her skills.
Off the court, Fudd has been proactive in securing endorsement deals, partnering with brands such as Chipotle, BioSteel Sports Nutrition, and SC30 Inc., the company of NBA star Stephen Curry.
As of March 25, 2025, Fudd announced her decision to forgo the 2025 WNBA Draft and return to UConn for the 2025-2026 season, aiming to fully recover from her previous injury and showcase her abilities before pursuing a professional career.
