To help jazz up the holidays, who better to chat with than Jazz Bond, former women’s basketball student-athlete and first-ever WNBA draft pick for the Ospreys!
In her four seasons at UNF, Bond was a seven-time ASUN Player of the Week, two-time Defensive Player of the Year, two-time All-Conference selection and a four-time Honor Roll member. Off the court, she also mentored kids at Tiger Academy as part of CAMP Osprey.
Last year, Bond hung up her jersey and started looking for work in the Jacksonville area, where she landed a role as a social media specialist for Fanatics. This year will be just as crazy as she and her fiancée, alumnus Anthony Hardge (’23), have a wedding to plan! Learn more.
