Following Miami's loss against the Indiana Hoosiers, the emotions were running high as the team entered the locker room. The seniors had just played their final game, and the Hurricanes players took a moment to express their gratitude to Hurricane Nation once again.

"Thank you, Canes Nation," Miami defensive back Keionte Scott said, taking a moment to appreciate the incredible journey they had during the College Football Playoffs.



Scott wrapped up his career at Miami after moving from the Auburn Tigers. In his senior year with the Hurricanes, Scott was managing a minor injury, yet he has been one of Miami's top defenders this season. By 2025, he has tallied about 64 tackles, 2 interception, 5 passes defended, 2 forced fumble, and 5 sacks while playing in the secondary. Unfortunately, Scott sustained a lower-body injury during Miami's game against Syracuse on November 8th.

I will always remember that pick-6 against Ohio State. The look on me and my dad’s face when Scott intercepted the ball was just absolutely great. I will never forget that moment, and we owe it all to Scott.



Now, Scott is shifting his attention to the NFL. Having no more college football eligibility, he is preparing for the Draft, aiming to get selected by a team. After a solid postseason performance with the Hurricanes, he has a strong chance of making a spot on a team.

 

Thank YOU - we will never forget you. Forever in our hearts and minds. Go rep the Almighty U

 

Thank you sir for being a great teamate and player. I would like to thank you and everyone associated with the program for a fantastic Year . I wish nothing but the best for all of you. You guys are what makes the U so great. Good luck in the league stay healthy and keep making us all proud. GO CANES!!!!!!!!!!!

 

You sure got a lot from four words Trinton haha

 

My favorite defensive player to watch this year. Incredible considering #3 and #4 played on that unit.

 

Scott showed the blueprint of how the nickel corner should be played here.

 

Scott and Thomas are two of my favorite Canes we’ve had in a long time. It’s like they were born to play for us and they gave 110% every time they stepped on the field. The only thing that sucks is we were only able to have them one year, which I suppose is the biggest complement of all.

 

One of the great DBs to play for Miami.

Scott and Thomas man oh man...it feels like they were here for all four years and were meant to be Canes. What a mark they made. They will be missed immensely.

 

Forever a great Cane. Awesome player. Everything we want our players to be.

Great player. Going to miss him

 

The please was all ours. Thanks for a great season, Keionte.

 

Everyone’s already said it, but man I’ll never forget that pick. Legendary Cane. Thank you for getting us back on top. I’ll be cheering on Kei in the NFL

I would buy renditions of famous paintings with Canes-esque themes.

 

 

Ugh! Yes, Thomas! Who the F is Jones??? HA

Charlie 34
Jimmie 63
Carlos 12

TBH, i figured there would be more off the top of my head but thats what I got.

 

My favorite defensive player to watch this year. Incredible considering #3 and #4 played on that unit.

The hair on fire aggression, diagnostic reads & open field tackles were better than *** after 23 years of mostly braindead, hesitant dog**** defense.

 

Good interview by Judy (Cane alum)

 

Hate that he was a transfer and only represented this U for 1 year.

K Scott will be talked about as a Cane in legendary fashion long after he hangs the cleats up.

 

He played the game like an old school Cane. Cane for life

 

Do you think he has any idea of the magnitude of joy he gave Canes fans with that pick six?
I said shortly after the game I don’t think I’ve ever yelled louder in my house over a play!
