On his way to pick up his Information Management Master’s degree from the School of Information Studies (iSchool), Kevyn Scott also picked up a rookie spot in the National Football League.
 
That one-in-a-million kind of opportunity was simply in the plan for Kevyn, a native of Florida who completed his undergraduate and graduate programs on football scholarship at Syracuse University over five years spent at the iSchool.
 
He came to college with a plan: never have just one plan. Kevyn intentionally made big dreams, hedged his bets, and concurrently pursued academic, corporate, and NFL careers. “It’s been just hard work, planning out my future, having back-up options,” Kevyn explained of his multi-layered successes.
 
Growing up with his dad a high school football coach, Kevyn said he saw “a lot of kids make the wrong decision go to college and take a one-path track, thinking they are heading to the NFL. Then, when that doesn’t happen, they’re stuck. I’ve also seen people go to the NFL and have a three-year career. With all that in mind, I decided to learn from other people’s mistakes,” he recounted.
