While still in his early 20s, Jeremy Sochan has secured a regular starting position with the San Antonio Spurs in the NBA, making waves for his basketball talent but also for his vibrant hair colours.

Jeremy Sochan: from Southampton to Indiana to Germany

Sochan's basketball journey has taken him across continents. Born in Guymon, Oklahoma, to an American father and Polish mother, his family moved to Milton Keynes in England when he was three. It was in the UK that his passion for basketball was ignited, even in a country where football held more sway.

At 16, he moved to Southampton to play basketball professionally for the Solent Kestrels. He transferred to La Lumiere School in Indiana for his junior year, but the pandemic cut his time short. Sochan returned to Europe, joining Germany's Orange Academy in the ProB league before catching the attention of top college basketball coaches in the U.S.
