A record 14-time Pac-12 Freshman of the Week honoree, Watkins led the Trojans in scoring 25 times this season. Watkins’ 751 points this year ranks 10th in Pac-12 history and third in USC history, boasting the most points by a Trojan in a single season since 1985-86 when Cheryl Miller scored 805. The guard has 12 30-point performances this season, including a 51-point outing at then-No. 4 Stanford to set a new USC single-game record. Watkins’ 27.8 points per game trails only Iowa’s Caitlin Clark (32.3 PPG) nationally, and is the second most in league history (Washington’s Kelsey Plum - 31.7 in 2016-17). Watkins becomes the sixth Pac-12 Freshman of the Year to hail from USC, and first since Alissa Pili in 2019-20.
