Oklahoma Sooners just accidentally forced a player committed to an SEC rival to inadvertently diss a Big 10 program

It's safe to say Scott enjoyed his time in Norman.

“Being from Alabama, you wouldn’t think much of Oklahoma, but while we were there, we saw how the city was, and it’s a real college town,” Scott told Rivals. “I’ve visited some college towns, and some don’t compare to Norman on game day. They’re very consistent with me; we talk every day. Coach Hall told me how I would contribute to that dominant defense. After the visit, I see OU very highly. They’ve jumped up numerous spots.”

Oklahoma would love to be able to flip Scott.

It's good that they're leaving such a huge impression on Scott just weeks before OU and Auburn play one another, because it will still be fresh in his mind. And, let's face it, these are kids, and kids are easily influenced, so a beatdown next week against the Tigers at home could help sway Scott to flip.


Scott is an elite safety, and even has some other skills from playing different positions throughout his football career growing up. He can catch, he can make plays with the ball in his hands, and you can tell that his IQ is pretty good, too. Scott has some good speed with the potential to have great length as he continues to grow.

Getting him in Bent Venables' system and developing him, as you see, he can do very well with defensive players, would be awesome for the Sooners. Look at the secondary in Auburn and tell me if that's a secondary that's been developed as well as the one in Oklahoma, where all of the CBs are homegrown, and most of the safeties are homegrown.

Scott could end up flipping for all we know.
