A two time state champion, Scott is a winner and the ultimate competitor you want with your linebacking corps as well as your locker room but he has yet to find a college home. The Rebels senior defender landed a strong offer recently from Eastern Illinois and has received continued interest from Wake Forest as well as several FCS, D2 programs but I believe Scott is holding out hope for more schools to get involved before he shuts down his recruitment. Whoever lands this East Tennessee will be getting a smart and highly active linebacker that will work his tail off to earn his spot and work towards becoming an eventual starter.

Scott went from an unknown as a junior inside the recruiting circle towards becoming one of the best at his position from the East Tennessee region and is now a prospect that has jumped on several D1, FCS radars. What college coaches are liking about the Rebels senior linebacker is his physical approach to the field along with his quick decision making and burst towards the football. Scott fits the bill of a middle linebacker in college but he is fast enough to work off the edge if needed as this East TN talent can provide a pass rush to the backfield. He does need to continue bulking up and adding a few more pounds to his frame but the tools are there to develop into a heat seeking missile against the run that can also be a problem for the opposing quarterback. Senior Film

One of the biggest performers in this game for the Rebels was Ryan Scott Ryan Scott 6'1" | 210 lbs | LB Knoxville West | 2024 State TN , who closed out this game with an interception to seal it. He flew around the field all day and was constantly involved versus the run. His motor runs very hot and is an extreme competitor. Other than the interception, Scott made quality plays in coverage disrupting passing lanes and dislodging balls at the point of attack. Scott made multiple big tackles and was one of the games most impactful player.
