Sonia Citron has been a force to reckon with in the NCAA this season. She was one of the leading reasons behind Notre Dame’s brilliant performance in the Atlantic Coast Conference. Though Citron may have missed out on a fairytale ending like Paige Bueckers had with the UConn Huskies, but journey is only just beginning. She was picked by the Washington Mystics recently in the WNBA draft as the third overall pick.
The 21-year-old’s college basketball career began with her signing with the Notre Dame Irish in 2021. She hit the ground running, announcing herself in the NCAA competition. She averaged 11.8 points in her first season itself being the only one among the two to achieve such a feat, with 6.6 rebounds and 2.2 assists. She continued to dominate in her sophomore year as well.

But her best figures arrived in her third year at the Notre Dame Fighting Irish. The guard elevated her game, coupled with some strong matches in the Atlantic Coast Conference. She registered 17.7 PPG, 5.5 RPG, and 2.2 APG in the 2023-24 season. Though her stat lines dropped as the Notre Dame roster expanded, bringing new guards this season.
But the Washington Mystics star significantly improved her accuracy. In the 2024-25 NCAA season, Citron averaged 14.1 points and 5.4 rebounds. But her FG stood at 48.4 percent, which is the highest of her basketball journey so far. Even from three-point shooting percentage rose from 35.9 to 37.2 percent. With such figures, the 21-year-old became the talked-about prospects in the WNBA 2025 draft. Washington Mystics drafted her as the third overall pick. Hence, she has attracted multiple NIL Deals. Let’s look at some of those.
Sonia Citron’s growing popularity among college basketball enthusiasts has seen her land some fine NIL deals. She has a deal with FanBasis, which was signed in 2023. Citron also represents Therabody, a leading wellness brand known for its massage and recovery tools.
