Vernon Scott didn’t start playing football until his junior year at Mansfield Summit. He gravitated more toward basketball and track.
But, once Scott put on the pads, he fell in love with the game. He excelled at it too.
Scott was ranked as the No. 11 safety in Texas by the time he finished high school by 247Sports and jumped at an opportunity to play at nearby TCU.
With the Horned Frogs, Scott got on the field immediately as a special teams ace and played his way into a starting safety job last season.
