Nebraska Guard Britt Prince Stuns College Basketball World by Announcing Her Return for 2025 Season
In a move that sent shockwaves through the college basketball landscape, Nebraska star guard Britt Prince announced her stunning decision to return for the 2025 season, vowing to lead the Cornhuskers back into national championship contention and cement her legacy as one of the greatest players in program history.
Prince, who was widely projected to declare for the WNBA Draft after a stellar 2024 campaign, revealed her decision via a heartfelt video posted to social media late Thursday night. Set against the backdrop of Pinnacle Bank Arena, the video featured clips from her record-breaking season, culminating in a message that ignited fan excitement: “The mission isn’t done. I’m coming back. One more year to finish what we started.”
The announcement came just weeks after Prince concluded her junior season with staggering statistics—averaging 21.6 points, 6.3 assists, 5.2 rebounds, and 2.1 steals per game—while leading Nebraska to a Sweet 16 appearance for the first time in over a decade. Her elite court vision, off-the-dribble creativity, and deep shooting range made her a matchup nightmare and a frontrunner for All-American honors.
For Nebraska head coach Amy Williams, the return of her floor general is more than a boost—it’s a game-changer. “Britt is the heart of our team,” Williams said in a press release following the announcement. “Her decision to return reflects not only her competitive fire but her commitment to elevating this program to championship heights.”
Prince cited “unfinished business” as her core motivation. Nebraska’s Sweet 16 loss to a powerhouse UConn team left a bitter taste, especially after the Cornhuskers held a double-digit lead in the second half. “That loss still stings,” Prince said in a follow-up interview. “I’ve been replaying it over and over. I’m not done. We’re not done.”
Her return instantly vaults Nebraska into the 2025 preseason Top 10. With key returning players like center Alexis Markowski and wing Natalie Potts, the Huskers retain a formidable core. Add in a top-15 recruiting class and Prince’s leadership, and Nebraska becomes a legitimate Final Four contender.
Beyond team goals, Prince now has a real shot to etch her name in the record books. She is on pace to become Nebraska’s all-time leader in assists and could surpass 2,000 career points early in the season. Her impact extends off the court, too, as she’s become a face of the NIL era in women’s sports—signing major partnerships and using her platform to advocate for mental health and youth development.
As she embarks on her senior campaign, the stage is set for a final chapter worthy of legend. Britt Prince isn’t just coming back to play—she’s coming back to win, to lead, and to define an era of Nebraska basketball. The college hoops world has been warned: the Queen of Lincoln has unfinished business, and she’s not leaving until it’s done.
