Scott was a foundational breakout underclassman corner during Jim Leonhard's defensive schematic overhaul at Illinois.

Coming out of high school, he possessed elite high school track speed, recording times of 11.12 seconds in the 100-meter dash.@Rob__Paul: "a bully who just smothers receivers in press-man. Can really trigger and close with his explosiveness, too. Hampton, who wasn't even a top 500 recruit in 2024, allowed just a 72.5 NFL QB rating when targeted last season.".
