Breaking News: South Carolina Gamecocks’ Rising Star MiLaysia Fulwiley Makes History by Claiming the Coveted 2025 Oscar Robertson Trophy, Honoring Her as the Nation’s Top Collegiate Basketball Player
In a moment that will go down in college basketball history, South Carolina’s electric guard MiLaysia Fulwiley has been named the 2025 recipient of the prestigious Oscar Robertson Trophy, awarded annually to the top collegiate basketball player in the nation.
Known for her jaw-dropping handles, clutch shot-making, and dazzling court vision, Fulwiley’s sophomore campaign was nothing short of spectacular. She averaged 18.7 points, 6.2 assists, and 4.9 rebounds per game while leading the Gamecocks to a dominant regular season and a deep postseason run. Her fearless style of play, paired with a calm under pressure rarely seen in such a young player, made her a fan favorite and a nightmare for opposing defenses.
“I’m honored to receive this award,” Fulwiley said in her acceptance speech. “This is for my team, my coaches, my family, and everyone who believed in me. I’m just getting started.”
With this win, Fulwiley becomes the first Gamecock to take home the Oscar Robertson Trophy, etching her name among college basketball’s all-time greats. She joins a storied list of past winners that includes legends like Larry Bird, Kevin Durant, and Zion Williamson.
MiLaysia’s win not only cements her status as the face of women’s college basketball but also further elevates the Gamecocks’ legacy as a powerhouse in the sport. And with another year of eligibility left, the best may still be yet to come.
