Several key players from Auburn’s 2024 roster decided to leave the program via the transfer portal at season’s end. One of those was cornerback and returner [autotag]Keionte Scott[/autotag].
Scott departed Auburn after spending three seasons with the program. His exit is possibly due to the NCAA’s recent rule change that will allow ex-JUCO athletes the option to seek an additional season of eligibility.
As expected, Scott is fielding offers from top programs across the county, including an SEC rival. According to a report by Matt Zenitz of 247Sports, Scott plans to visit LSU as part of his quest to find a new home. USC is also expected to receive a visit from Scott in the coming days.
Scott recorded 113 tackles during his three-year stint at Auburn with eight pass break-ups and an interception. In 2024, an ankle injury limited Scott’s time on the field to just five games. Because of this, Scott made a career-low 18 tackles. He made a season-best five tackles in Auburn’s games with New Mexico and California.
