UCF beat out Arkansas for Brandon Scott.

The Destrehan (La.) safety committed to UCF this morning, choosing the Knights over the Hogs on National Signing Day. He faxed in his letter of intent around 10 a.m.

"Officially a UCF Knight," he tweeted.

It was a tight race for Scott, ranked as the No. 62 safety in the country. He gave a silent verbal to the UCF staff during his official visit weekend on Jan. 16, and it looked like he was guaranteed to be a Knight. Two weeks later, he looked Arkansas bound after taking a visit to the Hogs on Jan. 30. Entering Signing Day, things were very much up in the air, but UCF ended up winning out.

Scott was recruited by Lorenzo Costantini and Travis Fisher.
