This is Scott’s second transfer in his collegiate career, with his first resulting in him coming to ECU from the University of Tennessee. The four-star recruit from Havelock, North Carolina, joined ECU’s program in 2015 as a redshirt sophomore.
Redshirt senior running back Devin Anderson was the second to leave the program on Jan. 9. Anderson came to the program before the 2016-17 season as a walk-on for head coach Scottie Montgomery’s first year with the ECU program. The running back from Henderson, North Carolina earned a scholarship with the program heading into the 2017-18 season after recording 57 carries for 258 yards in just 11 games.
