Kentucky football’s latest pickup, Quaysheed “Q” Scott, isn’t going to blow you away with what the recruiting outlets think of him. He’s considered an unranked prospect by most, with On3 the lone major site to slot him as a three-star recruit. But don’t mistake his lack of stars as a reflection of his overall talent — there’s a very good reason Kentucky wanted him on board.
Scott, who committed to UK on Tuesday afternoon, worked his way into this position. After missing a chunk of his sophomore season due to a thumb injury, the Marion (SC) High product came alive as a junior this past fall.
