Penn St.
Cover-3 match defense that prioritizes athletic safeties who can cover ground and make plays on the ball in space, with some two-high looks.
Year 1 rotational safety and special teams ace, with the ceiling of a starting strong safety capable of playing in coverage and run support.
Man-heavy defense where he is consistently asked to cover tight ends or slot receivers in isolation without safety help.
Scott's athletic profile and coverage skills make him a good fit for a defense that values versatility and can maximize his range.
Relative Athletic Score (Kent Lee Platte) benchmarks combine/pro-day numbers against every measured prospect at the position since 1987. 10.00 is elite; 5.00 is average.
