Scott, playing his seventh season, is one of the most well-traveled players in college football history. He signed to play for LSU under Les Miles in 2016. After a season with the Bayou Bengals, he transferred to East Mississippi Community College.
Following his JUCO year in 2017, Scott returned to the SEC. He was with Missouri for the 2018 season.
After leaving Mizzou, Scott was with Nicholls State from 2019-21 before making his fourth transfer, landing at Incarnate Word.
Scott has seen a lot of changes in the sport of college football during his career.
