Player Edition: Jadin Booth's Journey of the Nation’s #1 Three-Point Shooter
Samford’s Jadin Booth is officially the most dangerous threat from deep in college basketball. In this special Player Edition of SoCon Fast Break, we sit down with the man known as "Jadin Buckets" to go beyond the stat sheet and explore the incredible journey that led him to the top of the national rankings.
Jadin opens up about his unique path through the transfer portal and how a devastating knee injury—which he once feared might end his career—actually paved the way to Samford, his marriage, and a renewed sense of purpose.
In this episode:
- The Sniper’s Mentality: Why Jadin’s "keep it simple" approach is the secret to leading the nation in three-pointers made per game.
- Life Under Lennie Acuff: Insights into the Princeton-style offense and the "life quotes" that guide the team daily.
- Beyond the Court: The heart behind the Jadin Booth Elite Camp in Omaha and his dedication to giving back to "Ashton’s Army".

- The Inspiration Award: What it meant to receive the Ryan Turell Inspiration Award in Kansas City.
- Asheville Outlook: Why Samford believes they are a "dangerous team" that can beat anyone when the tournament begins.
