Former Grambling State basketball player Cameron Woodall tragically passed away in an ATV accident on Saturday in Mississippi, confirmed by authorities to the Clarion Ledger. Woodall participated in 11 games for Grambling State during the 2020-21 season and had previously played at Copiah-Lincoln Community College and Tougaloo College.

According to Hinds County Sheriff Tyree D. Jones, deputies responded to the incident around 11:30 p.m., where Woodall, aged 26, was declared dead. A second ATV operator was taken to a local hospital with minor injuries, and the investigation is ongoing.

Woodall had made one start in his 11 appearances at Grambling, averaging 8.4 points and 2.5 rebounds. He later transferred to Tougaloo College (NAIA Division I), where he earned second-team All-Gulf Coast Athletic Conference honors twice as shared on his social media.

“It is with profound sadness that we announce the untimely passing of Cameron D. ‘Big Cam’ Woodall, a treasured member of the Tougaloo College men’s basketball team,” stated Tougaloo athletics on social media. “Revered for his formidable presence on the court and his kind spirit off it, Cam left a lasting legacy within the Tougaloo family.”

Woodall was instrumental in aiding Raymond High School to win back-to-back MHSAA 4A state championships in 2017 and 2018.
