Ta’Niya Latson, the Division I leading scorer, has announced her decision to transfer to South Carolina for her final college season. The Florida State guard, who averaged 25.2 points per game this season, made the announcement on social media with a photo of herself in a Gamecocks jersey and the caption “Feelin’ cocky!” Latson expressed gratitude to Florida State for the past three years and credited the program for helping her make a name for herself.
Her decision to join South Carolina is a significant boost for the team, which is looking to bounce back from a loss in the national championship game. Latson will reunite with her high school teammate and Gamecocks guard Raven Johnson, who celebrated the news on social media. Johnson, who decided not to enter the upcoming WNBA draft, expressed excitement about running it back with Latson and hinted at adding a post player to the team.
South Carolina, under the leadership of Coach Dawn Staley, has a strong returning roster with players like Joyce Edwards and MiLaysia Fulwiley. Staley expressed optimism about the team’s potential for the upcoming season, mentioning the addition of experienced transfer players to support the young group. The Gamecocks, who have previously won national titles in 2017, 2022, and 2024, are aiming to add another championship to their impressive record with the addition of Latson to the roster.
