Draft Scouting Report

Pro Comparison: Jalen Pitre

Summary

Keionte Scott had a breakout season in his lone year at Miami and has logged nearly 2,100 career snaps. He’s a playmaker with good size at nickel, strong ball skills and one of the most effective blitzing defensive backs in the class. Scott’s presence was noticeable when he missed the final four regular-season games, and he immediately made an impact upon returning for the Hurricanes’ playoff run. He triggers downhill naturally and moves smoothly in space.
