Florida State Commit Jaylen Scott Hints at Nebraska Visit: Could the Huskers Flip the 4-Star DB?
Recruiting battles are heating up this summer, and one name to watch closely is Jaylen Scott — a 4-star defensive back currently committed to Florida State. While Scott has remained publicly solid with the Seminoles, recent developments suggest his recruitment may not be entirely shut down. In a surprising twist, Scott has expressed interest in taking a visit to Lincoln to see what Matt Rhule and the Nebraska Cornhuskers have to offer.
Scott, a 6-foot-1, 185-pound standout from Georgia, has been on the radar of several Power Five programs due to his elite speed, instincts, and ball-hawking ability. Florida State landed his commitment earlier this spring, but as the summer official visit season approaches, it’s clear that other programs aren’t giving up the chase.
According to sources close to the situation, Scott has been in regular contact with Nebraska’s defensive backs coach, Evan Cooper, and has voiced a desire to see the facilities and meet with the coaching staff in person. While no visit date has been confirmed, the buzz around a potential trip to Lincoln is growing louder.
Nebraska, under Rhule’s leadership, has been aggressive on the recruiting trail, especially in the Southeast, aiming to flip elite prospects who may be open to reconsidering their early pledges. Scott could be a major coup if the Huskers manage to get him on campus.
For Florida State, this development adds another wrinkle to their already intense recruiting season. While the Seminoles still appear to be in the driver’s seat, any official visit elsewhere — particularly to a Big Ten program like Nebraska — should raise eyebrows in Tallahassee.
If Scott does make it to Lincoln this summer, expect the Huskers to roll out the red carpet. The battle for his signature may not be over yet — and Nebraska could very well be in play.
