Missouri receiver Kam Scott enters NCAA transfer portal
Mizzou may be losing some depth at the receiver position as rising junior Kam Scott has entered his name into the NCAA transfer portal.
During his two seasons on the field for the Tigers, Scott registered 25 catches with 542 yards receiving and two touchdowns. The Lone Star State native signed with the program as a three-star recruit in the 2018 recruiting cycle out of Manvel High School of Manvel, Texas.
Scott signed with Missouri over scholarship opportunities to play for South Carolina, Tennessee, Baylor, Iowa State, Kansas State, Louisville, and Utah, among others.
News of Scott’s decision to enter the NCAA transfer portal was first reported by Matt Zenitz of AL.com.
As always, it must be noted that a player’s decision to enter the NCAA transfer portal does not mean that the player cannot return to this team. Entering the portal simply allows other programs to contact the player in regards to a transfer, players still have the option of returning to their programs after entering the portal database.
Scott started six games last year for Missouri in Derek Dooley’s offense after making 11 total appearances during his freshman season in Columbia. On his first career catch, Scott scored on a 70-yard touchdown reception.
If he ultimately decides to transfer I certainly wish him luck. He’s a good athlete, just had the dropsies but a lot of our receivers did last year. He was actually one of my picks to maybe have a breakout year, I guess he still can if he returns.
Just because Dooley didn’t know how to use receivers and receiver depth doesn’t mean somebody else will miss the chance. It takes fitness to play receiver and a defense can be worn down and out by an deep attack with a big play book. If Shawn Robinson is not a more accurate QB than Kelly Bryant, Bazelak will be starting so there is little risk for receivers at Missouri this year. Having said that,
Scott and the whole receiver core has been known to allow un-rated walk ons to step in and shine like pro players next their performances. It’s just not that hard to get open and be on time, the O knows where it wants to go and D does not.
Wish him luck. From a football standpoint, his classmate Knox was doing better, and Mizzou just brought in 5 WRs this year, including a grad transfer. I don’t think he was going to play much.
Its either Scott or Thompson that runs track also. Whichever it is, and I believe it’s Khamari, I’d rather not lose that one. However if you’ve neen here two years and dont stand out yet tben good luck to you and I hope you get what e we youre working toward. Not what you think you deserve.
