And while she has yet to turn pro and will be out for a while, JuJu Watkins is partly responsible for that, becoming one of the most popular athletes over the past couple of years.

That’s why it only makes sense that the USC Trojans star gets her well-deserved recognition. With that in mind, the program’s X account celebrated her latest accomplishment.
