“It is with profound sadness that we share the untimely passing of Cameron D. ‘Big Cam’ Woodall, a beloved former Tougaloo College men’s basketball standout. Known for his larger-than-life presence, fierce competitiveness on the court, and kind-hearted spirit off it, Cam left an indelible mark on the Tougaloo family. His impact extended far beyond basketball; he was a friend, a brother, and a true Bulldog through and through. We send our deepest condolences to his family, friends, teammates, and all who had the privilege of knowing him.”

Cameron Woodall was a standout basketball player in Mississippi, playing for Raymond High School. He was a key contributor to Raymond HIgh winning the MHSAA championships in both 2017 and 2018. Following his high school career, he played basketball at Copiah-Lincoln Community College before committing to Grambling State.

During his time with the Bulldogs, he earned Second Team All-Gulf Coast Athletic Conference honors twice for his impressive performance.
