Quaysheed Scott reaffirms commitment to Kentucky during official visit

Marion (S.C.) High defensive back Quaysheed Scott was a surprise recruiting win for Kentucky back in July. At the time, the Wildcats were the only Power Five program involved in this recruitment. The three-star defensive back would then blow up after a strong senior season.

South Carolina issued a scholarship offer to the in-state prospect and hosted Scott for multiple unofficial visits during the season. With an official visit scheduled with the Gamecocks in December, there was some worry that Scott could end up flipping and joining Shane Beamer‘s program in Columbia.

That will no longer be the case. Quaysheed Scott confirmed on X this Sunday morning that he will no longer be visiting South Carolina and is completely locked in with the Wildcats during his official visit in Lexington.

Score a big recruiting win for Kentucky cornerbacks coach Chris Collins. Quaysheed Scott is the No. 690 overall player in the 2024 On3 Industry Ranking. The defensive back is a top-10 recruit in the Palmetto State after a dominant senior season.

The Wildcats currently have 22 high school commits in the 2024 cycle and have the No. 23 overall class with the early signing period now less than two weeks away.
