True Freshman | 6-1 | 173 lbs. | Lakeland, Florida

Position: Cornerback
Previous College: None
Projection: Redshirt
Status: On Scholarship

Jozia “JoJo” Scott (b. June 1, 2007) is a promising young cornerback from Florida who plans on majoring in kinesiology. He may redshirt in 2025 but already has earned praise from practice observers, so I wouldn’t rule out his appearing in more than four games just yet.

Scott prepped under head coach Kendrick Stewart at Victory Christian Academy in Lakeland, Fla., where he was viewed as the 78th-best cornerback in the Class of 2025 by 247Sports after he carded 57 tackles, 1.5 tackles for loss, seven interceptions, one forced fumble and three fumble recoveries over the final three seasons of his prep career.

He had three interceptions in each of his final two high school seasons, and added 300 receiving yards and three touchdowns on 20 catches over his final two seasons.

Scott also competed in basketball and track and field as a prep.

He committed to K-State over offers from Akron, Arkansas State, Florida Atlantic, Georgia State, Georgia Tech, Iowa State, Jackson State, Kansas, Liberty, Louisville, Memphis, NC State, Nebraska, New Hampshire, North Dakota State, Oregon State, South Florida, Temple, UAB, UConn, USF, West Virginia, Western Michigan and Wisconsin, as well as recruiting interest from Maryland, Miami and Tennessee.

Scott’s lead recruiter was his new position coach, assistant head coach Van Malone.
