Jadyn [Helton], [the fan] you\u2019re going to be spending some time with, is pursuing a master\u2019s program at your alma mater, South Carolina, in coaching. Does that have a little extra special meaning for you in light of where she is getting that degree from?<\/p>\n
A\u2019ja Wilson: Of course. When I saw her [submission] video and I heard that she was at the University of South Carolina, I instantly lit up because, obviously, go Gamecocks always. But when she\u2019s dreaming about, you know, being a coach, I feel like there\u2019s no better person that you can do that alongside of than thee Dawn Staley. She\u2019s someone that has mentored me, and I feel like that\u2019s another reason why this partnership is so key. You can share these similarities with your fans. And so, we we can really learn from each other, but, of course, go Gamecocks. I love that.<\/p>\n
You are getting the chance to participate in this Beyond the Bleachers program with AT&T that allows you to meet A\u2019ja Wilson.<\/p>\n
Jadyn Helton: Yeah, it\u2019s surreal. It\u2019s very surreal.<\/p>\n
Do you know what you\u2019re going to be doing when you spend some time with A\u2019ja?<\/p>\n
Jadyn Helton: Getting advice. Talking with her. Communicating. It\u2019s just nice.<\/p>\n

So, I would choose me too.<\/p>\n As part of @ATT<\/a>\u2019s Beyond the Bleachers sweepstakes, one lucky fan, @jadynh07<\/a>, got the opportunity to spend time with A\u2019ja Wilson one-on-one during an off day! <\/p>\n I spoke to Jadyn briefly to learn more about what her hangout with A\u2019ja would include \u2b07\ufe0f pic.twitter.com\/8zgecA26It<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Natalie Esquire (@natfluential) September 8, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n Are you going to be getting some tips from A\u2019ja about South Carolina?<\/p>\n Jadyn Helton: Hopefully, because I did my undergrad at UNC Chapel Hill. So, the goal is to see which Carolina is better.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
