She has made history at the University of Central Florida in many categories and now, she has signed a deal with Nike.
Aurieyall Scott, UCF’s first NCAA champion in athletics history, recently signed an apparel contract with Nike, according to UCF. Deciding to forego her senior year of eligibility, Scott signed with Global Athletics — an organization which represents many of the nation’s top sprinters — in August, officially turning pro.
“When I came to UCF, I wanted to do something that no one else had before. It was a tough decision to leave, but I am really excited about moving on and representing Nike,” Scott told UCF. “Even though I won’t be wearing Black and Gold anymore, this team will always be a part of me. We accomplished a lot, and I’m proud of the time I spent here.”
During her collegiate career, Scott became the most decorated All-American in program history (14 honors, indoor and outdoor),according to UCF. She made history as the first Knight to win an NCAA title, claiming gold in the 60 meters at the 2013 NCAA Indoor Championships.
Scott is currently enrolled in classes and is on pace to finish her degree in interdisciplinary studies in Summer 2014, according to UCF.
