Ex-Texas guard Littleton lands at South Carolina

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — Former Texas guard Destiny Littleton is transferring to South Carolina.

Littleton is a 5-foot-9 guard who came to the Longhorns as a McDonald’s All-American and five-star recruit. She announced her latest college choice Monday on Twitter, posing in a South Carolina uniform alongside Gamecocks coach Dawn Staley.

Littleton, of La Jolla, California, started 12 of 33 games last season, averaging 8.4 points and 3.6 rebounds. Littleton will sit out next season before having two years of eligibility left.

Staley’s team had three players, including leading scorer Te’a Cooper, transfer out of the program last month. Along with Cooper, guard Bianca Jackson and forward LaDazhia Williams chose to look for another school.
