Congrats to Lindsey! I know he has been discussed here many times before and many think he is not LSU material but he is in elite company now! Jimmie Smith posted last week on Twitter that he could be a dark horse for LSU QB slot but probably not.

The Gatorade Company, in collaboration with USA TODAY High School Sports, has announced Lindsey Scott of Zachary High School as its 2015-16 Gatorade Louisiana Football Player of the Year. Scott is the first Gatorade Louisiana Football Player of the Year to be chosen from Zachary High School.
The award, which recognizes not only outstanding athletic excellence, but also high standards of academic achievement and exemplary character demonstrated on and off the field, distinguishes Scott as Louisiana’s best high school football player. Now a finalist for the prestigious Gatorade National Football Player of the Year award announced in December, Scott joins an alumni association of past state award-winners in 12 sports, including Mark Sanchez (2004-05, Mission Viejo HS, Calif.), Wes Welker (1999-00, Heritage Hall HS, Okla.), Terrell Suggs (1999-00, Hamilton HS, Ariz.), Anquan Boldin (1998-99, Pahokee HS, Fla.) and Jerome Bettis (1989-90, Mackenzie HS, Mich.).
The 5-foot-11, 205-pound senior quarterback has led the Broncos to 12-1 record and a berth in the Class 5A state semifinals against Parkway High, scheduled for Dec. 4. Entering the postseason final four, Scott had completed 149-of-227 passes for 2,674 yards and 29 touchdowns while rushing for 1,607 yards and 23 touchdowns on 171 carries. The 2014 Louisiana Sports Writers Association’s Class 5A Outstanding Offensive Player and the 2014 The Advocate Large Schools All-Metro MVP, he accounted for 17 touchdowns in the Broncos’ first three postseason games.
Scott has maintained a 3.77 GPA in the classroom. A member of the Zachary High Beta Club, he has volunteered locally as a youth mentor and as part of multiple community-service initiatives through his church.
“Lindsey Scott is an outstanding athlete,” said Dale Weiner, head coach of B.R. Catholic High. “He hurts opponents with his running and his passing. They won a few down-to-the-wire games this season. I don’t think they win those without him.”
Scott has verbally committed to play football on scholarship at Syracuse University in the fall of 2016.

Pulling for him.
Do they typically announce this award before the end of the year?

Seems like this was formerly announced around Christmas/couple weeks after the Dome. Congrats to him.

Is Dale Weiner's son still the head coach at Zachary?
Posted on 12/3/15 at 10:36 am to GetmorewithLes
Offer Him.
The next Russell Wilson.

They need to go after him, and Cam needs to tweak the offense to fit the style of QBs they keep offering. Scott would kill it in an open offense.

Would be very happy with Scott.

I'll never forget how everyone said Tyler was too short for an LSU QB. What he did to Florida one year was totally disrespectful. My Florida friends had to wear shame glasses.

No, He moved on to Dunham two yrs ago. Neil Weiner coached Scott his Soph season. David Brewerton is his current HC. FWIW, Chris Carrier is a defensive Asst on the staff there and Dean of Students - Some LSU presence there.

Gotcha. Was he not doing well at Zachary? I remember when he was hired there was talk of him building them into the next West Monroe.

He seemed to be doing fine and then all of the sudden he resigned. In one of the strangest coaching moves I have ever seen Weiner, Guy Mistrata, and Brewerton made a three way swap one at a time. Brewerton went to Zachary to replace Weiner, then Mistrata went to Livonia to replace Brewerton, and then Weiner went to Dunham to replace Mistrata... all seemingly independent moves. Go figure that one out.

Hmm. That is a weird move. Looks like it's worked out well for Zachary at least.

We need the hometown product Lindsey Scott Jr leading our tigers to victories. Past LSU quarterback Herb Tyler was also underrated coming out of high school but out competed players who were more highly recruited to win the starting job.

Is this a lighter but quicker version of Dak Prescott? Hate to lose an instate QB that lights it up in college.
