Further, as a member of the US National Team, she is very connected throughout the country which will be beneficial as she begins to assemble our inaugural team"

I look forward to developing the next generation of flag football athletes and giving them the opportunity to compete at the college level," stated Scott. "I've been involved in this sport for 20 years, and what started out as something fun has turned into something that became a major part of my life and helped fund my education. I now get to help other women in football do the same thing."
A native of Tallahassee, FL, Scott is currently an alternate on the US National Team with hopes of competing in the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles. She is 1 of only 18 women who were invited to the US National Team Training Camp.
