NEW YORK – Former Ole Miss women's basketball standout Madison Scott has signed a development player contract with the New York Liberty, the team announced on Thursday.
She is the third current Rebel participating in the WNBA, joining Shakira Austin and Cotie McMahon who are both on the Washington Mystics.
Scott had an outstanding five-year career at Ole Miss, consistently elevating her game and becoming one of the most exciting players in the SEC. During the 2024-25 season, she scored in double figures in a team-leading 21 games, averaging 11.8 points and 3.7 assists per game, leading the Rebels in both categories. Additionally, she became just the fourth player in Ole Miss history to surpass 1,600 career points and 1,000 career rebounds.
Nationally recognized for her talent, Scott earned a spot on the 2025 All-SEC Second Team, marking her seventh career conference honor, and was recognized as a WBCA Honorable Mention All-American. Additionally, she was awarded the 2025 Gillom Trophy as the best women's basketball player in Mississippi.
Under Scott's leadership, Ole Miss secured at least 10 conference wins and 20 overall victories for the fourth consecutive season. The Rebels also made their fifth straight SEC Tournament Quarterfinals appearance and earned a spot in the NCAA Tournament Sweet 16 for the second time in three years.
Following five outstanding years at Ole Miss, Scott was drafted by the Dallas Wings with the 14th overall pick in the second round of the 2025 WNBA Draft. She was later traded to Washington and played with the Mystics during the 2025 season, appearing in nine games.
