Arizona State football landed a major recruiting victory on Monday afternoon when four-star wide receiver Nalin Scott from McEachern High School in Powder Springs, Georgia, announced his commitment to the Sun Devils. But it wasn’t just the commitment that drew headlines, it was the confident four-word message Scott dropped immediately after: “I’m Home!! Forks Up”

The statement quickly went viral on social media, as fans and analysts alike reacted to the bold claim from one of the top pass-catching prospects in the 2026 class.

Scott’s pledge is a massive boost for Arizona State’s 2026 recruiting class. The 6-foot-3, 185-pound wideout becomes the 11th commit for the Sun Devils and adds a high-upside target to their future offense. Ranked No. 311 overall and No. 49 among wide receivers in the 2026 cycle, Scott brings both size and speed, along with valuable multi-sport athleticism.
As a junior at McEachern, Scott led his team in receiving with 541 yards and two touchdowns on 29 receptions across nine games. His ability to stretch the field, make contested catches, and operate in multiple offensive systems has caught the attention of college scouts around the country.
In addition to his football skills, Scott competes in track and field, posting freshman times of 11.50 seconds in the 100m and 23.76 in the 200m, while also gaining experience in the shot put and discus.
For Arizona State, this commitment is more than just another four-star prospect; it’s a statement that the Sun Devils are not backing down in the recruiting arms race. Winning a battle over programs from the SEC and Big Ten, especially for a Georgia-based recruit, signals that head coach Kenny Dillingham and his staff are building something serious in Tempe.
Scott’s four-word message captures that momentum. “I’m Home!! Forks Up” may sound like a bold proclamation now, but it reflects the confidence Scott has in the direction of the program, and in his role within it. It also sends a message to other recruits that Arizona State is a place where top-tier talent can shine on a national stage.

As the 2026 class continues to take shape, look for Scott to be a foundational piece of Arizona State’s offensive future. His blend of size, athleticism, and competitive fire makes him a potential game-changer at the next level.
With more commitments likely on the horizon, the Sun Devils are starting to make serious noise, and Nalin Scott’s bombshell message might just be the spark that ignites a recruiting surge in the desert.
