There’s a twist after 4-star S Jaylen Scott named his top schools

The Georgia Bulldogs are among the top five schools for four-star safety recruit Jaylen Scott. Scott, a member of the class of 2027, named the Oklahoma Sooners, Tennessee Volunteers, Miami Hurricanes, Florida State Seminoles and Georgia to his top five. Interestingly, he did not put any in-state schools among his top contenders.

Scott is ranked as the No. 10 safety in the rising senior class, per 247Sports. The 5-foot-11, 170-pound safety play high school football for Williamson High School in Mobile, Alabama. Scott is the No. 113 recruit in the class of 2027 and the No. 4 prospect in Alabama.

The four-star recruit is coming off a strong junior season with Williamson. He recorded 93 tackles, 13 pass deflections and five interceptions. The elite 2027 recruit also added a lot of value on special teams where he blocked six punts. Scott had a pair of touchdowns during his junior season.

After naming his top five schools, Scott received an offer from the LSU Tigers, who he says is his “dream school” despite them not being in his top schools list. LSU is definitely a school to watch for Scott considering the Tigers’ strong history recruiting defensive backs and aggressive recruiting under coach Lane Kiffin.

Georgia is also in the mix for Scott. The Bulldogs are recruiting one of Scott’s high school teammates, four-star linebacker Ellis McGaskin, who recently decommitted from Notre Dame.
