5-star ’24 DL Justin Scott announces commitment to Miami
Hello there, Hurricane nation. How about a YAHTZEE!?
On Wednesday afternoon, five-star class of 2024 defensive lineman Justin Scott announced his commitment to the Miami Hurricanes. The 6-foot-4, 310-pound product of Chicago (IL) product, was previously committed to Ohio State before backing off that decision today to come to the Hurricanes.
Scott likes tons of stuff about Coral Gables, however the opportunity to be closer to home was too much to pass up at the time. From then on, his communication with the ‘Canes was virtually non-existent. But the more he thought about where he wanted to live for the next three to four years, Miami kept coming back to his mind.
“Miami never went away,” he told On3. “Even after I committed to Ohio State, Miami stayed in the back of my mind. I started talking to the Miami coaches again a couple of weeks ago, and after having a talk with my mom, I made the decision to flip to Miami. I have known for about a week. Once I had that talk with my mom to let her know how I felt and found out she was OK with my decision, then I knew.”
Scott was considered the 12th-ranked prospect and the third-ranked defensive lineman in the 2024 class per 247Sports’ composite rankings. He’s the second defensive lineman OSU has lost to Miami this recruiting cycle, along with Marquise Lightfoot.
