2026 Outlook
Keionte Scott was selected by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the 4th round and projects as a future inside-outside versatile defender. The Miami product is a fast (4.33-second 40-yard dash) and physical defender with relentless motor who "provides an energy that can't be coached" per Bleacher Report's B/R Scouting Department. Scott had an outstanding college season with 110 tackles, 2 interceptions, 13 tackles for loss, and 5 sacks in 2025. While unlikely to challenge starters Benjamin Morrison, Zyon McCollum, and Jacob Parrish for a starting role, his versatility and play style should make him a prominent subpackage player in his rookie year. Scott is identified as one of 2026's 8 most overlooked rookies likely to generate major training camp buzz (per 8 Overlooked NFL Rookies Most Likely to Generate Major Training Camp Buzz).
