Silver And Black Pride on Zavier Scott

Scott projects as a top-20 pick if healthy with elite nickel skills and ball production.

Kj Bolden projects Xavier Scott as a top-20 pick in April 2027 if he rebounds from a 2025 injury with a season similar to his 2024 production (50 tackles, 4 INT, 11 PBU). The 5'11/190 senior from Illinois is a safety/nickel hybrid who plays similarly to Devon Witherspoon despite being undersized. Scott shows elite hip flexibility, smooth snappy hips, exceptional footspeed, and elite mirroring ability. He has good strength to take on blocks, above-average length to disrupt catch points, and fluid athleticism with good long speed. Bolden notes the NFL is valuing the nickel position heavily and Scott should thrive in that role.
