Scouting Report

Miami · 2026 draft class

Keionte Scott is a versatile defensive back who has significan't experience as an outside and slot cornerback, with his most impactful position being nickel defender. Now at Miami after time at Auburn, Scott projects as a Round 2 pick according to ESPN's Matt Miller. He single-handedly took over the Kansas game in 2024-which is very hard for a defensive back to do-showcasing his playmaking ability. Scott is a very reliable tackler who brings passion in both run defense and pass rushing. He plays with good instincts and twitchy change-of-direction movements to make the most of them. It looks like he's moving as fast as he possibly can every rep, yet he stays balanced and in control. The only real knock on him is his top speed-his running strides seem short, and it is hard for him to recover if he yields initial separation, which only gets harder in the NFL.
