Background
Hailing from Bradenton, Florida, Ralph Scott made the move to IMG Academy to elevate his game among the nation's elite prospects. At the prestigious basketball factory, he's developing alongside future stars including top-10 prospects Bamba Touray and Dylan Betts, while learning from veteran leadership like Arkansas-bound Darius Acuff Jr. The competitive environment at IMG has proven to be the perfect proving ground for Scott's continued development.
Playing Style
Standing 6-8 with impressive length, Scott brings the prototypical frame that college coaches covet in modern small forwards.

Scott's basketball IQ continues to mature as he learns to leverage his physical advantages within team concepts. His versatility as a wing player gives him the foundation to develop into a complete two-way threat at the collegiate level.

With 16 Division I offers from programs like Houston, Texas A&M, Purdue, Georgia Tech, LSU, Mississippi State, and Oregon, Scott ultimately chose to commit to Tennessee. The Volunteers landed a versatile wing who projects to grow into their system over multiple seasons. His ceiling remains high as he continues developing his skill set alongside elite competition at IMG Academy.
