Los Angeles Sparks take South Carolina’s Sania Feagin in 2025 WNBA Draft
South Carolina forward Sania Feagin was selected by the Los Angeles Sparks with the No. 21 overall pick in the second round of the WNBA Draft on Monday night.
“This feeling is like something you can’t even explain,” Feagin said of being drafted. “So just to know that I grew up and started from really nothing, and that’s where I am now is amazing.”
The forward saw her draft stock rise in the final stretch of South Carolina’s season.
She was named to the All-SEC defensive team (the first All-SEC honor of the her career), All-SEC Tournament and earned NCAA All-Regional team honors in March. Feagin averaged a career-high 8.1 points, 4.5 rebounds and 1.5 blocks this year.
Feagin was the third Gamecock to hear their name called in the 2025 WNBA Draft and the only USC player at the draft in person. She was joined in New York at the draft with coach Dawn Staley and other South Carolina staff members.
“It felt amazing just to see her out there,” Feagin said of Staley. “Her support is amazing.”
Te-Hina Paopao was drafted with the No. 18 pick in the second round by the Atlanta Dream. Bree Hall is was drafted with the No. 20 pick by the Indiana Fever, also in the second round.
“It meant a lot to me just to know that we all got drafted back-to-back-to-back,” Feagin said. “I texted in a group chat to let them know congratulations. We did it, we made it this far. It just means a lot to be here with my teammates.”
