He possesses an extremely high motor and is a relentless pass rusher, when getting after the QB. Scott was a relentless pass rushing presence coming off the edge in the All-American Bowl game and was able to accrue 6 total sacks on the day, while dominating in the trenches for team North. Rope's overall fire off (FO) was outstanding and he was able to cause mayhem with his highly disruptive style of play off the edge for four straight quarters. Scott's six total sacks and tenacious pass rushing abilities earned him the 2022 Defensive MVP for Team North in the 2021 All-American Bowl game in San Antonio, Texas! On his last sack, he asked for his Happy Meal and I believe a 2022 All-American defensive MVP award should suffice with the highly active and violent hands Rope displayed on Feb 13th. |
