JoJo Scott is emerging as a breakout Kansas State defensive back in 2026
In the 2026 season, JoJo Scott has gone from a mostly special-teams role in 2025 to winning Kansas State’s nickelback competition and earning a projected starting job, a strong sign of trust from the staff. The 6-foot-1 sophomore brings length, athletic upside, and noticeable maturity; reports from camp say he’s been one of the defense’s steadier improvers. He’s still early in his college career, but that climb matters: Kansas State clearly likes his versatility, competitiveness, and potential to fit as a physical, interchangeable DB if you want a young, rising playmaker.
