The Talented Key Player Keionte Scott Announced Just Now…
Auburn defensive back Keionte Scott, a leader both on the field and off the field for the Tigers, was expected to enter the transfer portal.
The reports came less than a month after Scott announced he’d be returning to Auburn for his senior season.
However, just three days after the reports of him entering the portal surfaced, Scott took to X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter, to reaffirm his commitment to the Tigers.
“Thankful for the patience and the honest opinions but the REAL know where home is for me #WDE,” Scott posted Jan. 8.
On Thursday afternoon, Scott met with the media for the first time since his decision-filled offseason.
“I love this place at the end of the day,” Scott said when asked about him briefly flirting with transferring. “(I) Just had to really sit down and focus on everything, look everything through and Auburn is the place I wanted to be.”
Whether of significance or a coincidence, Scott’s decision not to transfer came just hours after it was reported that former Auburn defensive coordinator Ron Roberts would be leaving The Plains for a similar role at Florida.
At the same time Scott was entertaining the ides of playing elsewhere, his position coach, Auburn secondary coach Wesley McGriff was doing the same.
