Hey, he graduated and is simply moving on with his life. Good for him. Really made Denton proud as a fantastic HS QB. All the best to Scotty going forward.

[emmitt01]

So the kid sees action in seven total games in his collegiate career. Shame.

[tmjerm]

It's just bad luck...going through that many coaching changes...feel terrible for him. Plenty of schools would have been lucky to have him.

[UNT90]

So he graduated and has a year of eligibility left?

Hmmmmmmmmm

[NT03]

I wonder if baseball is in his future. I've always said he was a better prospect on the diamond. Either way , best of luck to him

[Mean Green 93-98]

Seems sad to me, but maybe he's just sick of football at this point. I do wish him well.

[UNT90]

Excuse me for having an old man memory, but did he start last year? I know he was the starter coming out of fall practice, but I seem to recall he was injured when we played?

He had head injury early in the year. They never reported it as a concussion , but it was a nasty hit. Wouldn't surprise me if that played a factor in his decision

Best of wishes to this young man.

I'm a bit disappointed simply because it would've been a fun story-line for him to lead La Tech into Apogee 9/11 for our national TV broadcast.

All the time we wasted on gmg.com comparing Brock Berglund and Scotty Young...me included...and neither plays FBS ball a year later.

You mean there is actually time spent productively on gmg.com?

I have seen so many Denton high school players leave Denton and try their luck at a "big" school. the huge majority of them never see the field. I wish more would stay here and actually see some playing time instead of carrying a clipboard for 4 years.

I can't speak for anybody but me, however, when I was 18 staying at home was the last thing I wanted to do. Can't really fault a guy for wanting to change his scenery away from his family.

Also, he had Big 12 talent...he just drew a bad hand with Leach leaving, not being Tuberville's guy and then going through the same thing at La Tech. Don't blame him at all for going out to Lubbock like he did. He had interest in coming here too (rather than the transfer to LT) but Dan wasn't wanting to move in that direction.

Yep. I know a couple of tech people with ties to the school/team and the word was we were his #1 choice
