Keela Scott will work as the Huskers’ backup second baseman in her freshman season, in addition to pinch-running duties as she continues to develop and adjust to the Division I level. The first Husker recruit ever from the state of Missouri, Scott missed all of her senior season at Liberty High School with an injury, but is healthy and ready to contribute in her rookie year in Lincoln.
An intelligent student and athlete, Scott was a career .338 hitter in high school and Liberty’s valedictorian in a class of 672. During the Huskers’ fall season, Scott appeared in eight games, including one start at second base. She went 0-for-5 at the plate, but scored four runs and drew a pair of walks to post a .283 on-base percentage.
Before Nebraska
Scott is thefirst Missouri native to ever sign with the Husker program. Scott was a standout on the field and in the classroom for Liberty High School in Liberty, Mo. She was a four-year letterwinner on the diamond, although elbow surgery forced her to miss her entire senior season in the fall of 2008.
Despite the injury, Scott started as a freshman, sophomore and junior. She was a first-team all-district and second-team all-conference selection in 2006 and 2007. In her career, Scott was a .338 hitter, totaling 88 hits and 32 RBIs despite missing her senior season.
In the classroom, Scott ranked first in her class of 672 students. She was a member of the National Honor Society and was awarded the Presidential Education Award. In the summer, Scott played for the Kansas City Zephyrs Gold, the same team as Husker teammate Ashley Guile, who played for the Zephyrs until 2007 and served as a volunteer coach for the team in the summer of 2008.
