Oklahoma State Commit Michael Scott Embraces “The Office” Jokes, Explains Motivation Beyond Football

New Oklahoma State defensive end pledge Michael Scott is aware of his name and the dots fans of “The Office” immediately connect upon hearing it. He even embraces it as a fellow fan of the hit television series.

“I’ve seen The Office,” Scott told Pistols Firing. “I actually like The Office, I think it’s a funny show. People bring that up probably about 99.9% of the time. People think I’m a short, white dude. Then they find out I’m 6-foot-5 with dreads. But yeah, it’s actually a good show.”

Scott, a former SMU student-athlete who left the school to take the junior college route with Trinity Valley last year, made his commitment to Oklahoma State on Friday just one day after the Cowboys offered him a scholarship.
