USC basketball star JuJu Watkins is one of the top players in the country. JuJu, who was named Freshman of the Year and a first-team All-American during her first season with the Trojans, is gearing up for her sophomore campaign and will be rolling around in style.

Ahead of the start of the 2024-25 college basketball season, JuJu's new Mercedes whip was revealed on social media.

JuJu signed an NIL deal during the 2023-24 season thanks to a partnership with NIL collective House of Victory and Fletcher Jones Mercedes. Last season, JuJu was given a 2023 Mercedes EQ, and this year, she received an upgrade.

USC finished the season as the No. 5 team in the AP Top 25 poll.
