Ole Miss standout Madison Scott is heading to the Lone Star State to begin her professional basketball journey.
The Indian Head, Md. native was selected by the Dallas Wings with the 14th overall pick in the second round of the WNBA Draft at the Brooklyn Academy of Music on Monday night. Scott is the eighth Lady Rebel to hear her name called in program history and the third in the Yolett McPhee-McCuin era.
She enters the WNBA after a stellar five-year career at Ole Miss. During the 2024-25 season, Scott scored in double figures in a team-leading 21 games, averaging 11.8 points and 3.7 assists per contest, leading the Rebels in both categories. Recently, 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.
Scott, joining No. 1 overall pick Paige Beuckers from UConn, will immediately jump into training camp with the Wings, as the 2025 WNBA Season is set to officially tip off on May 16.
No players from Mississippi State, Southern Miss, Jackson State, or any other Mississippi university were drafted this year.
