Despite the fact that there have been rumors that Scott has silently committed to Tennessee, that has been flat out denied to me by multiple people around the four-star back. The idea that Scott has already privately decided on Tennessee was also denied.
I was told that as of last night that Scott is torn between South Carolina and Tennessee and has struggled to make a final decision. Florida is completely out. Both South Carolina and Tennessee have been confident.
One thing worth pointing out is that Scott is one of the most private kids you'll come across and he plays things very close to the vest. Still, at this point, I would lean towards him picking Tennessee, though I'll say if he's truly torn then the longer it takes for him to decide, then the more I could see the comfort level with South Carolina being a factor.
One thing to keep an eye on here that has the potential to become a factor is that Tennessee is hosting another running back on an official visit this weekend in four-star ATH Darrel Williams (Marrero, La./John Ehret). Williams is committed to LSU but has his own concerns about the Tigers' depth chart and the fact they landed the nation's No. 1 prospect in running back Leonard Fournette. Tennessee is considered to at least be a factor with Williams and if he flips to the Vols this weekend, then that would mean Scott is almost definitely going to South Carolina, since Tennessee doesn't have room for two more backs.
