Elite 2026 Pass Catcher Nalin Scott Visiting Tennessee, Getting Major Interest Early

2026 wide receiver Nalin Scott carries a dozen Power-5 offers and hopes to leave Rocky Top with another one from the Tennessee Volunteers.
In this story:

Georgia 2026 wide receiver Nalin Scott is carrying interest from several major programs. Georgia, Auburn, LSU, and South Carolina are among the top group from his 12 offers, and the Clemson Tigers have also made a lasting impression. Scott is one of the best young playmakers out of Georgia and is primed to continue blowing up.

The Kennesaw Mountain standout measures 6-3 and 200 pounds after his freshman season of high school. He's spent the summer making his way around the southeast - Scott has camped at Georgia, Clemson, Auburn, and UCF and will now make his way out to Knoxville, Tennessee, to spend Sunday camping with the Vols. It's not unreasonable to think that he could leave town with an offer, especially considering his physical profile at such a young age. Tight ends coach Alec Abeln is involved in this recruitment, as Scott may continue to grow into a tight end's body. For now, he projects as a wideout, and a good one.

Scott logged 18 catches and 278 all-purpose yards with four touchdowns in his first season on varsity. Those numbers won't blow anyone away, but he was a 14-year-old playing against Georgia 7A competition - the early production means something. Tennessee gets its first in-person evaluation of Scott on its home turf, where they can get athletic testing data and continue to gather data about how he performs around top competition.
