Gamecock transfer Cam Scott heading to Philly for new college destination
Cam Scott has found a new college home.
The former Lexington High standout and South Carolina guard announced Monday a commitment to the Temple Owls. He will have three years of eligibility left.
Scott also entered the transfer portal after his freshman season. He was there for 28 days, from April 1-29, before ultimately withdrawing and sticking with the Gamecocks this year. Though he returned to USC, the guard did not play and redshirted this past season.
Scott was the fifth player in USC program history to sign with the team as an in-state prospect rated four stars or higher, but things never worked out with the Gamecocks. He averaged 2.5 points and 1.3 rebounds in 10.1 minutes per game in the 2024-25 season.
Scott finished up his career as the most decorated boys basketball player in Lexington High School history and helped the Wildcats to their first state championship since 2000. He was two-time S.C. Gatorade Player of the Year, earned all-state honors five times and finished with a school-record 2,475 points.
