Scott chose Miami over 11 other offers including Alabama and Tennessee.

He said Florida finished second for him.

"It's my hometown," Scott said of Miami. "They kept in contact the most. Why put on for a team out of state when I can for my home state team?"

"Miami needs receivers and they have a need there so I feel I can help them," Scott said.
