After three seasons at UCLA, guard Londynn Jones is trading in her powder blue and gold and heading to the Bruins' rival, Southern California.

Jones announced in an Instagram post Monday that she is transferring to USC.

"Best of both worlds, LA... I'm still here," the native of Riverside, Calif., wrote.

Jones made a UCLA program-record 87 3-pointers on 36.6 percent shooting from the arc in 2023-24. She followed that up with another 72 treys in 2024-25, making 35.1 percent of her attempts.

Jones averaged 9.6 points per game in 108 games (60 starts) for the Bruins, including 8.5 ppg last season over 37 games (31 starts). She was an All-Big Ten honorable mention.

UCLA went 34-3 in 2024-25 and won the Big Ten tournament by defeating USC 72-67 in the championship game. The Bruins were the No. 1 overall seed in the NCAA Tournament and reached the Final Four, where they lost to eventual national champion UConn.

USC, meanwhile, also earned a No. 1 seed in the tournament and fell to UConn in the Elite Eight. The Trojans lost national Player of the Year JuJu Watkins to a torn anterior cruciate ligament in the second round of the tournament. If Watkins returns to action in 2025-26, she would count Jones as a teammate.
