Scott no longer interested in Auburn

One of the side effects of Tommy Tuberville's resignation as Auburn's football coach Wednesday came from this area, as Dixie County running back Rodney Scott no longer is committed to the Tigers, according to Bears' coach Brent Wilkerson.

"As of right now, Rodney is uncommitted," Wilkerson said. "He's looking at a few other places."

Topping the list are South Florida and hard-charging Mississippi with coachless Auburn a distant third, according to Wilkerson.

"USF has always been somewhere he's looked at seriously, and Ole Miss has made a real good push of late," Wilkerson said. "Both of those schools really want him."

Scott has an official visit scheduled for Mississippi this weekend and is canceling a trip set for Auburn later this month. Wilkerson said Scott also is planning to cancel a trip to South Carolina, which was set to take place in a few weeks.

New Clemson coach Dabo Swinney called Thursday to offer Scott a scholarship, but the Tigers are late getting into the game and would have some makeup work to do to catch up with the Rebels and the Bulls, according to Wilkerson.

Florida expressed some interest in Scott, working him out at running back and cornerback during last summer's Friday Night Lights. However, Wilkerson said he hasn't heard from Gator coaches in months.
