Some time ago Lindsey Scott, was named Gatorade Player of the Year in the state of Louisiana. The honor was announced on Thursday.
Scott was also named the Louisiana Class 5A Most Valuable Player on offense. It is the second straight year the Louisiana Sports Writers Association has voted him the Player of the Year.
On the field, Scott led Zachary High School to its first ever Louisiana 5A State Championship. Scott amassed 3,039 yards passing while completing 163 of 255 passes (63.9%) for 33 touchdowns, 1,963 yards on 220 carries and 28 more touchdowns on the ground.
His stature, listed various places as either 5'11" or 6'0", is seen as an impediment to his major conference success at the quarterback position; however it is likely that more teams will offer over the next six weeks.
Scott's height should not be problem in Coach Babers' offensive system. Bowling Green quarterback Matt Johnson is listed as 6'0" and he threw for 4,946 yards completing 383 pass on 569 attempts (67.3%) and 46 touchdowns, breaking Ben Roethlisberger's MAC conference record for passing yards in a season. Babers' offense does have some element of read option to it as well. Scott's reported 4.49 40-yard dash time will make him a dynamic threat on the ground as well as through the air.
The gridiron is not the only place where Scott shines, compiling a 3.77 GPA as well. The award was won two years ago by LSU running back Leonard Fournette.
