Charlotte Welcomes Rookie Panther Nic Scourton as Training Camp Approaches
Charlotte, NC – Rookie linebacker Nic Scourton of the Carolina Panthers is embracing his new home in Charlotte while preparing for training camp, set to begin on July 21, 2025. After signing his rookie contract, Scourton is eager to compete and make his mark on the team.
Scourton has been using his offseason to explore the city, describing it as “full of juice and full of love.” His adventures have included discovering Charlotte’s charming attractions, such as local museums, delicious food spots, and scenic trails for walking. Although he has taken many photos during these explorations, his parents have been the ones visiting the museums. Nevertheless, Scourton has developed a deep appreciation for the city and its offerings.
The rookie linebacker finds motivation in the history and legacy of Dan Morgan, the team’s general manager and a former linebacker for the Panthers. Scourton has on several occasions expressed his respect for Morgan’s accomplishments and views him as a formidable role model during his transition to professional football.
Aside from urban activities, Scourton has enjoyed spending quality time with his pets. He owns a 15-week-old Maine Coon cat named JR, who he anticipates may grow to around 35 pounds. Additionally, Scourton has a mini long-haired dachshund named Lily, who is expected to join him in Charlotte shortly.
As training camp approaches, several updates have also emerged regarding the team. Tight end Tommy Tremble has been placed on the active/physically unable to perform list due to recent back surgery. Meanwhile, wide receiver Dan Chisena and punter Sam Martin are on the active/non-football injury list. General Manager Dan Morgan has outlined goals for improving the team’s consistency and focusing on developing younger players within the roster.
In other team developments, the Panthers passed on veteran Josey Jewell, signing tight end Tyler Mabry to secure his vacant roster position. Pro Bowl defensive lineman Derrick Brown has been cleared for all activities following a missed previous season due to injury, providing a boost to the team’s defensive line depth as they gear up for the new season.
As the Panthers head into training camp, they are eagerly looking forward to joint practices scheduled with the Cleveland Browns on August 6 and the Houston Texans on August 14.
