After scoring 27 touchdowns and rushing for 1,512 yards during his junior year at Norton High School in Norton, Oh., Tyler Scott knew he could play Division I college football. Problem was, the college football world didn’t seem to know who Scott was.
There were no recruiters from big-time programs showing up at his games. There were no colleges asking him to come to campus on recruiting visits. There were no calls or e-mails to gauge his interest. There were no offers.
There was silence. And frustration from Scott.
Norton was not a football hot bed.
