BREAKING NEWS: Michigan Guard Jordan Hobbs Selected by Seattle Storm in 2025 WNBA Draft

In a proud moment for Michigan women’s basketball, senior guard Jordan Hobbs was selected with the No. 34 overall pick in the third round of the 2025 WNBA Draft by the Seattle Storm. With the selection, Hobbs becomes the ninth-ever Michigan player to be drafted into the WNBA, marking another milestone in the Wolverines’ growing legacy in the women’s game.

Hobbs, a 6-foot-1 guard known for her versatile skill set and basketball IQ, had a standout senior season with the Wolverines. She emerged as a key leader on and off the court, averaging career highs in points, assists, and rebounds while also taking on major responsibilities defensively. Her ability to shoot from deep, create for teammates, and guard multiple positions made her an invaluable asset throughout the 2024–25 season.

The selection by the Storm reflects Hobbs’ strong draft stock heading into the WNBA’s selection night. Though projected by many to be a later-round pick, her consistent performance and steady improvement over four years in Ann Arbor made her a solid choice for a team like Seattle, which is known for developing young talent and valuing high-character players.

“I’m incredibly grateful and honored to be selected by the Seattle Storm,” Hobbs said shortly after the pick was announced. “It’s a dream come true to have the opportunity to compete at the highest level. I want to thank my coaches, teammates, and the entire Michigan community for helping me reach this point. Go Blue forever!”

Hobbs’ journey to the WNBA is one of steady growth, resilience, and hard work. Arriving at Michigan as a promising but raw prospect, she developed each year into a more complete player. By her senior season, Hobbs was not only a statistical leader but also a vocal captain and the emotional engine of the Wolverines’ squad.

The Seattle Storm, currently in a transitional phase as they blend young talent with veteran leadership, may prove to be an ideal landing spot for Hobbs. The organization has a history of nurturing guards and allowing them to flourish in versatile offensive and defensive roles. If she can make an impression in training camp and continue her upward trajectory, Hobbs has a legitimate shot at carving out a roster spot.

Her selection adds another chapter to Michigan’s growing impact on the professional level. Hobbs joins the ranks of former Wolverines like Naz Hillmon, who have gone on to succeed in the WNBA and serve as role models for future Michigan stars.

For now, Jordan Hobbs will look ahead to the next challenge: proving herself at the professional level and earning a place in a competitive Seattle backcourt. But regardless of what happens next, her legacy at Michigan is secure — and her story is just beginning.
