USC's Juju Watkins wins ESPY award for Best College Athlete—Women's Sports
On Wednesday, the 2025 ESPYs took place in Los Angeles. Notably, the Trojan Marching Band took the event by storm with their tribute to the great Lee Corso. However, that was not the only USC involvement with the event. In addition to the TMB, USC women's basketball star Juju Watkins received the ESPY award for Best College Athlete — Women's Sports. Watkins is coming off of an incredible sophomore season in which she averaged 23.9 points and 6.8 rebounds per game while leading USC to a Big Ten title. However, her year ended in heartbreaking fashion when she suffered an ACL injury in the NCAA Tournament. This is Watkins' second year in a row earning an ESPY. Last year, she won in the Best Breakthrough Athlete category. The ESPY is just the latest mark on Watkins's already remarkable resume. Perhaps the most incredible part of it all is that she just turned 20 years old this past week. Although her injury will take some time to recover from, Watkins's future looks incredibly bright.

Cooper Flagg claims ESPY for Best College Athlete after electrifying season with Duke Blue Devils
Cooper Flagg. Image via: Getty Images Cooper Flagg's remarkable rise in the basketball world continued on Tuesday night as the former Duke Blue Devils phenom and current Dallas Mavericks rookie was named Best College Athlete at the 2025 ESPY Awards. The 18-year-old's dominance in his freshman year has been hard to ignore. He is breaking records, winning major awards, and proving himself as one of the most electrifying young players in the sport. His ESPY win is yet another acknowledgment of a season that left college basketball in awe. Cooper Flagg secured ESPY for Best College Athlete Cooper Flagg was named the Best College Athlete at the 2025 ESPYs, edging past Oklahoma State wrestler Wyatt Hendrickson, Cornell lacrosse standout CJ Kirst, and Colorado football and Jacksonville Jaguars rookie Travis Hunter. The win made Flagg one of the youngest players ever to claim the award. — Mavs_FFL (@Mavs_FFL) The 6-foot-9 forward had already set the bar high before arriving at Duke, and somehow exceeded expectations. His ESPY win came on the heels of being selected No. 1 overall in the 2025 NBA Draft by the Dallas Mavericks— the youngest top pick since LeBron James in 2003. Flagg was also nominated for Best Breakthrough Athlete at the same event, placing him in elite company alongside lacrosse star Chloe Humphrey, rugby's Ilona Maher, and MLB pitcher Paul Skenes. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like American Investor Warren Buffett Recommends: 5 Books For Turning Your Life Around Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo Other notable awards won by Cooper Flagg The ESPY adds to what's been a historic haul of accolades for Flagg. In April, he was named the Naismith Men's College Player of the Year, becoming just the fourth freshman ever to win the award. Flagg also earned AP National Player of the Year, winning 41 of 61 first-place votes and besting Broome once again in what became a two-man race for the honor. He later secured the John R. Wooden Award, making him Duke's eighth winner. In addition, Flagg collected the Julius Erving Award for the nation's top small forward and was named a First-Team All-American, solidifying his status as college basketball's most complete player. Dallas Mavericks star Cooper Flagg's Summer League status Flagg's leap to the NBA hasn't come without a few early lessons. His NBA Summer League debut was rocky, shooting just 5-of-21 against Bronny James and the Los Angeles Lakers. But he bounced back in emphatic fashion with a 31-point performance against San Antonio Spurs rookie Dylan Harper on July 12, drawing widespread praise. Now, it appears that Flagg's time in the Summer League is done. He did not suit up for the Mavericks' July 14 game against the Charlotte Hornets and is unlikely to return before preseason begins this fall.
