High School Basketball Star

Trevon Scott played basketball at McIntosh County Academy in Darien, Georgia. His mother had a strict rule: he could only play sports if he earned at least a C grade on his progress report.

Amazing Senior Year

In his final year of high school, Trevon was incredible. He scored an average of 21.6 points per game. He also grabbed 14.1 rebounds, made 6.5 assists, and blocked 3.5 shots per game. For his amazing performance, he was named Georgia Region 2A Player of the Year for the second year in a row.

School Scoring Record

Trevon left McIntosh County Academy as the school's all-time leading scorer. He had an impressive 1,824 points during his high school career. Many colleges wanted him to play for them. He chose to play for Cincinnati, even though big schools like Alabama and Clemson also offered him a spot.

College Career at Cincinnati

Trevon Scott started his college journey at Cincinnati. He didn't play in his first year, which is called "redshirting." This allowed him to practice and get ready for future seasons.

Becoming a Starter

For his first two playing seasons, Trevon was a reserve player, meaning he came off the bench. As a sophomore, he averaged 3.1 points and 3.6 rebounds per game. When a key player left, Trevon stepped up and became a starter in his junior year. He then averaged 9.3 points and 6.9 rebounds per game.

Record-Breaking Games

Trevon had some incredible games during his senior year.

• On February 9, 2020, he scored a career-high 25 points and grabbed 13 rebounds against UConn.
• Just four days later, he scored 25 points again and pulled down an amazing 19 rebounds against Memphis.
• On February 19, Trevon had 22 points and a career-high 21 rebounds against UCF. He was the first Cincinnati player since 1998 to get 20 points and 20 rebounds in one game!

Senior Year Achievements

As a senior, Trevon averaged 11.4 points and 10.5 rebounds per game. He also had 2.2 assists and 1.5 steals per game. He received several important awards:

• First Team All-American Athletic Conference (AAC)
• AAC Defensive Player of the Year
• AAC Most Improved Player

He was the first Cincinnati player since the 1982–83 season to average a "double-double" (meaning he averaged double digits in two categories, points and rebounds). The NCAA Tournament was canceled that year due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which Trevon said was a very tough way to end his college career.
