Press release:
USC women’s basketball is getting another injection of high-level talent with the signing of Jazzy Davidson to join the Women of Troy as a freshman for 2025-26, head coach Lindsay Gottlieb announced today (Nov. 13). The Oregon native is the No. 3 recruit in the nation and has been a member of Team USA’s U18 National Teams.
"I vividly remember my first conversation with Jazzy several years ago, and I hung up the phone thinking, 'I hope we can build this program to where we have a legit shot at her.' So to have that come to fruition means so much to me,” USC head coach Lindsay Gottlieb said of Davidson.
A native of Clackamas, Ore., Davidson was a semifinalist for the 2023-24 Naismith Trophy High School Girls Basketball Player of the Year as a junior at Clackamas High School. A 6-foot-1 left-handed guard/forward, Davidson was also the 2023-23 Oregon High School Girls Basketball Player of the Year as a sophomore.
"Jazzy, in my opinion, is the jewel of this class,” Gottlieb said of Davidson. "She is an elite level player in every aspect. She can score, create, defend — a true modern, pro-style player. She has a work ethic and competitiveness that will impact our program immediately. But from that first conversation I also knew that Jazzy the person was someone I wanted in our program. She is truly as humble and likeable as she is talented. We got a special one, and I couldn’t be more excited.”
Davidson helped her Clackamas High squad to the 2023 Class 6A state championship, and this past summer she was a member of the United States' gold-medalist U18 team at the 2024 FIBA U18 AmeriCup alongside two current USC freshmen — Kayleigh Heckel and Kennedy Smith. Davidson averaged 11.3 points, 3.8 rebounds and a team-high 2.7 steals per game at the event, and she became the first U18 player to go a perfect 100 percent from the floor with five or more attempts in a game since 2004 with her outing for Team USA against Mexico.
In August, Davidson also was named to the 2024 USA 3x3 Women’s U18 National Team, winning gold again with Team USA at the 2024 FIBA 3x3 U18 World Cup.
