Miami Hurricanes defensive back Keionte Scott is projected to go on Day Two of the NFL Draft, and he could be a steal.
This past season, Scott was one of the Hurricanes leading tacklers. Earlier in the college football season, many scouts and mock drafts had him going in the late first round, which shows he could be a steal.
The Miami defensive back has met with a trio of NFL teams, including the Texans, Commanders, and Bears. Each NFL team gets to host up to 30 prospects for visits ahead of the draft.
At the combine, Scott was listed at 5-foot-11, 193 pounds, and ran an unofficial 4.25 40-yard dash. He also showed his explosiveness with a 10’3” broad jump and a 44” vertical.
Scott wrapped up his career at Miami after transferring from Auburn. In his senior year, he was dealing with a minor injury, but he was still one of Miami’s top defenders. In 2025, he tallied 64 tackles, 2 interceptions, 5 passes defended, 2 forced fumbles, and 5 sacks while playing in the secondary. However, Scott suffered a lower-body injury during Miami’s game against Syracuse on November 8.
Whoever drafts this Miami defensive back could be getting a steal, especially since he was once seen as a first-round pick. Time will tell.
