Laron Scott-

“It’s amazing to have a GSU player join the NFL,” said Athletic Media Relations Director Barrett Gilham. “Each team only needs a few guys, so to have a player from Georgia Southern is a pretty big honor for Laron and for us.”
Scott owns GSU's total kickoff return yards record with 2,257 career yards. This includes two seasons of over 1,000 kickoff return yards and a 95-yard kickoff return touchdown against the FBS national champions, the University of Alabama Crimson Tide.
Scott was ranked No. 3 in the FCS in return yards, with an average of 30.6 yards a game. He recorded 53 tackles and three interceptions from the cornerback position last season.
