Ta’Niya Latson has officially arrived in Columbia, and the buzz around her arrival is already palpable.

The dynamic guard, who transferred to South Carolina after a standout stint at Florida State, is now on campus and beginning her next chapter with the Gamecocks. Though she isn’t jumping into drills just yet, Latson was all smiles as she observed her new teammates working out, soaking in the championship culture that defines Dawn Staley’s program.

 

The former ACC Freshman of the Year brings instant offense, elite quickness, and a relentless scoring mindset—attributes that will bolster an already loaded South Carolina roster. With experience under her belt and a hunger to win at the highest level, Latson looks poised to make an immediate impact.

 

Her arrival couldn’t come at a better time. With the Gamecocks looking to defend their national championship and reload after the departure of key players, Latson adds another layer of explosiveness to the backcourt. While she watched from the sidelines today, her presence alone energized the gym. Coaches and teammates greeted her with excitement, and it’s clear she’s already feeling the love from the program and fans alike.

 

For Latson, the move to Columbia represents more than just basketball—it’s a chance to grow under one of the most respected coaches in the game and to compete on the sport’s biggest stage. And while she’s just beginning to settle in, her eyes are clearly set on something bigger: winning. As she gets acclimated to the system and builds chemistry with her new squad, expectations are already sky-high.

 

South Carolina just got stronger, faster, and more dangerous with Latson in the fold. And from the look on her face, she’s ready for everything this next chapter has in

store.
