Former Butler forward Sydney Jaynes signed a professional contract with Eisvogel USC Freiburg today enabling her to continue her basketball career in Germany. Next season will be the program's 25th year of Division I Basketball.
 
"We are incredibly proud of Syd," Head Coach Austin Parkinson stated. "She has worked extremely hard for this opportunity, and I have no doubt she will do great things. Her versatility to play inside and on the perimeter will translate well overseas."
 
Freiburg is located in Southwest Germany near France and Switzerland. The team recently won a championship in 2023 and has been a consistent powerhouse in their league.
 
"We're very happy to have Sydney on our team for next season," Eisvögel USC Freiburg Sports Director Harald Janson explained. "We were looking for a powerful, strong, stretch-five center and Sydney was our first choice. Our video calls were outstanding. Together with her, two other international pro players, and our strong base of highly talented German players, we will have a very competitive team that will be qualifying for the playoffs and hopefully will be a contender for the championship."
 
Jaynes capped off an excellent career at Butler in 2024-25. She scored 981 points over 125 games while adding 432 rebounds. Jaynes shot 48 percent from the field over her four years on campus and made 43 percent of her 3-point attempts as a senior.
