Zavier Scott Finally Found a Home With UConn Football

Zavier Scott has rarely lived in one place for too long. Growing up, his family was always on the move after his father — a Sergeant First Class in the military — was transferred around the country — and the world.

Born in Texas, Scott and his family lived there as well as Tennessee, Kentucky, Virginia and Germany, all before he turned 16 years old.

They moved to Vilseck, Germany before Scott’s junior year of high school, right when recruiting would heat up for a typical football player in America. But living thousands of miles away from the nearest college football team in a country that doesn’t play the sport, Scott was basically invisible to recruiters.
