Star freshman Nate Ament and the Tennessee Volunteers prepare for a high-stakes Sweet 16 matchup, but he is making headlines for more than just his performance on the hardwood. A social media exchange between Ament and USC women’s basketball sensation Jazzy Davidson has recently surfaced, sparking rumors that college basketball’s newest "power couple" has arrived.
The buzz began after Davidson posted a series of photos on her personal Instagram account. Ament was quick to jump into the comments, sparking a back-and-forth that fans immediately clocked as more than just a friendly interaction.
Averaging 16.9 points and 2.3 assists this season, Ament, the Tennessee 6'9 forward, has been a cornerstone for the Volunteers this season, helping lead them to the second weekend of the NCAA Tournament.
Meanwhile, Jazzy Davidson has lived up to the hype at USC with a season average of 17.9 points and 4.1 assists as per ESPN. As the former No. 1 recruit in her class, Davidson’s scoring ability and playmaking have made the Trojans a threat on the national stage.
The timing of the reveal has added an extra layer of excitement to Tennessee's tournament run. Fans have been quick to note that Ament is "winning both on and off the court" as he heads into tomorrow night’s game.
According to reports from "College Sports Only", the two are now officially dating, marking a significant crossover between two of the brightest young stars in the SEC and Big Ten. While neither athlete has made a long-form public statement regarding the relationship, the digital trail has been enough to send fans of both programs into a frenzy.
As Ament focuses on helping Tennessee advance toward the Final Four, he clearly has a high-profile supporter in Los Angeles cheering him on.
