I really hope people in the comments don’t say anything bad about this kid. He’s a good kid who comes from a good family and he’s also extremely smart, hence the Harvard offer. I wish he would have taken that opportunity but I understand wanting to live his dream of playing for LSU. Those saying he’s not a qb are wrong though. He has a tremendous arm to go with his ability to run. If he were 2 inches taller in high school he would have been a high 4 star top 100 player with an offer list of the best teams in the nation. I wish him nothing but the best and hopefully he lands somewhere he can be given a real chance to start.

So his 2 attempts at playing in the SEC haven't been "real" chances? Why exactly would 2 different coaching staffs not give him the same opportunity to play as the other QB's on the roster?
It's ok to admit that he's just not good enough to play at a high level, not everybody can do it

I'm ignorant on the subject of Scott @ Mizzou.. was he legit not given a fair chance to compete for the starting job? Coaches want the best player out there @ QB. Why would they not start him unless he just wasn't the best there? (Honestly curious because I have no clue what happened there)
This is an honest question. I have absolutely zero hard feelings and wish nothing but the very best for him. But was he really not given a real/fair chance to start @ Mizzou?

That's great and all but he has been on two sec teams and transferred from both because he wasn't going to play. If playing football is something he wants to do he needs to go to USM or Tulane.

So right on. While I’m an LSU grad and fan, if offered an athletic scholarship to an elite school, take it. Unless you are a truly rare athlete, the best long term game plan is to select a program by what university offers the best education and upward mobility. I’ve never understood why anyone would choose an SEC school over an offer from an Ivy.
As for Scott, it is apparent that he really wanted a shot at playing big time college football. You can’t fault him for chasing his dream, but he didn’t ask me for advice, and doesn’t care what I would think anyway. I just hope it works out for him. I suspect we will hear about him again as a successful business professional.
