College career

From 2013 to 2017, Scott attended Occidental College, in California, majoring in urban environmental policy.[16] In his true-freshman season at Occidental, Scott was selected for the SCIAC All-Conference Second Team, and named Newcomer of the Year.[17] In the last game of his freshman year Scott passed for 473 yards and 6 touchdowns, setting single game records at Occidental in each category.[18][1] In 2014 Scott was selected to play for the U-19 USA National Football Team.[19] Scott led Team USA to a Gold Medal finish at the IFAF World Championship in Kuwait.[20] Scott brought his team back from a 14–12 deficit at halftime, with 4 consecutive passing touchdowns, to capture the Gold Medal. He was awarded with the IFAF tournament's MVP award.[21] Later, during the 2014–15 season, Scott was selected for the SCIAC All-Conference First Team after leading the conference in every major passing category.[22] During his tenure at Occidental, Scott set 9 school records and 3 Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference records: Career Passing Yards (9073), Completions (763), and Total Offense (9475). He was named 1st Team All Conference QB, Occidental Team MVP, and Occidental Team Captain in the 2016–17 season. That season, he was also named SCIAC Player of the Year. Scott was deemed “Dominant” by La Daily News Writer Mark Whicker.[23] 2016–17, Scott's final season with Occidental, was his most offensively productive, as he passed for over 3000 yards in 9 games played with 27 touchdowns.[1] It was also the season that he became the all-time passing yardage leader for both Occidental College and the SCIAC, with 9073 yards, 77 touchdowns, and 22 interceptions in 33 career games.[24][16]

Professional career

In March 2017, Scott attended USC’s Pro Day workout, completing 62 of 64 passes with one drop[25] That allowed to bridge the gap between USC and Occidental that day.[25] Based on his strong performance at the USC Pro Day, Scott earned an opportunity to play with his hometown team, the Los Angeles Rams[6] He also attended a rookie camp with the BC Lions of the CFL.[26]

In April 2018, Scott participated in The Spring League, where he was named Player of the Game for two games.[27][28] His performance led to his being offered a private workout with the Kansas City Chiefs.[29] In 2018 he also attended training camps with the Kansas City Chiefs and the Atlanta Falcons.[7][8] In 2019, Scott officially signed with the CFL's Edmonton Eskimos.[30]
