Sedona Prince is a 6-foot-7 American basketball player, born May 12, 2000, who played college basketball for the TCU Horned Frogs (Big 12 Conference), Oregon Ducks (Pac-12), and Texas Longhorns (Big 12).
One of the tallest players in Oregon’s history, she gained national attention in 2021 for a viral video exposing disparities in facilities between the men’s and women’s NCAA tournaments, contributing to reforms like equalized tournament conditions and athlete compensation through a $2.8 billion NCAA settlement.
Her college career spanned seven years due to injuries (broken leg, torn elbow ligament, broken finger) and NCAA transfer rules, which forced her to sit out the 2019–20 season.
At TCU, she averaged 17.6 points, 9 rebounds, and 3.2 blocks per game in her final season, leading the Horned Frogs to their first Elite Eight.
Despite projections as a potential first-round pick, she went undrafted in the 2025 WNBA Draft, likely due to her age (24), injury history, and off-court allegations.
Prince faced multiple allegations of physical, sexual, and emotional abuse from former partners between 2019 and 2024, including a 2019 sexual assault claim, a 2022 lawsuit (later dismissed), and a January 2025 physical altercation with an ex-girlfriend, where both reported minimal injuries and no charges were filed.
A petition to remove her from TCU’s team garnered over 200,000 signatures, but TCU took no action.
Prince and her attorney, A. Boone Almanza, denied all allegations, claiming they were attempts to exploit her fame.
Her basketball future is uncertain post-draft, with potential opportunities overseas.
Sentiment on X reflects polarized views: some highlight her talent and lack of formal charges, while others condemn her based on the allegations.
Why is she called prince”?
Sedona Prince’s last name, “Prince,” is simply her family surname, not a nickname or title.
There’s no public information indicating a specific reason or story behind why her family has this name, but it’s likely of English or French origin, where “Prince” historically referred to royalty or nobility, or was used as a surname for someone who worked in a noble household.
In her case, it’s just her given last name, and she is referred to as “she” (Sedona is female).
