Scouting Report
Updated May 19, 2026
Keionte Scott, a 4th round (116th overall) cornerback drafted by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2026, recently had offseason wrist surgery to address an injury that bothered him throughout the 2025 college football season and playoffs. He had a plate removed from his left wrist and is recovering well, with his cast expected to come off in 10 days. Scott expects to be ready for full participation in training camp but will miss or have limited availability during OTAs and mandatory minicamp. The former Miami defensive back is described as feisty, aggressive, physical, and well-suited for the nickel position under Todd Bowles' defensive scheme.
