He finished his college career with 245 receptions – the most in program history – for 2,458 yards and 19 touchdowns over 43 games and helped the Tigers to a U.S. college national championship in 2017.

Scott signed with the Los Angeles Chargers as an undrafted free agent following the 2017 NFL draft. He spent the better part of three seasons with the Chargers, primarily on the practice roster before moving joining the Indianapolis Colts in 2020.

Most recently, Scott was on the Houston Texans’ practice roster.
