Gee Scott Jr.’s decision to become a tight end started with a suggestion from an NFL cornerback.
Richard Sherman, who has a close relationship with Scott and his father dating back to his years with the Seattle Seahawks, told them he thought Scott could have a bright future playing tight end at the next level. Scott, meanwhile, had been struggling to keep his weight under 215 pounds, where Ohio State wanted him to be as a wide receiver. So after giving Sherman’s suggestion a couple nights of thought, Scott decided to bring the idea to Ohio State’s coaching staff.
