Last week, South Carolina's MiLaysia Fulwiley was named MVP of the Southeastern Conference tournament as the Gamecocks continued their undefeated campaign.

Now she is the first college player to sign with Curry Brand through Under Armor.

The 5-foot-10 freshman from Columbia, South Carolina, will wear Curry-branded shoes on the court for the remainder of her playing days with the Gamecocks, according to the company's announcement. Off the field, she will be a brand ambassador. Fulwiley will receive the support of Curry Brand and Under Armor to grow the game of basketball in her hometown and continue the grassroots work already begun in the community.

“It feels incredible to be chosen to represent Curry Brand,” Fulwiley said in a statement. “Knowing that I can be a role model for other young girls who come here and do exactly what I did is amazing.”

Fulwiley scored 24 points in the championship game against Louisiana State and averaged 11 points per game during the regular season. She was named to the SEC's All-Freshman team.

Fulwiley was the 13th recruit out of high school, where she played six seasons of varsity basketball starting in seventh grade. She won four state titles at WJ Keenan High School and was also a McDonald's All-American.

“When it comes to the ability to profoundly change the game, no one speaks louder than MiLaysia,” Curry said in a statement. “She changes the women’s game in an instant with the way she plays and moves on the court. She has a unique style and flow to her playing that I think a lot of people haven't seen in a long time… I'm honored that she's now a part of the family.

Fulwiley will make her Curry Brand debut in the opening round of the women's NCAA Tournament. South Carolina is expected to be the No. 1 overall seed and a favorite to reach the Final Four for the fourth straight year.
