• After thinking about it, Scott's life priorities easily outweigh his desire to get back on the football field.
• "I'm just lucky to be able to walk around and talk to people and live a normal life, really," he said. "I was a little upset (about not being able to play) at first, but I'm just happy to be alive."
• Majoring in math education and physical education, Scott is taking one master's course this fall and he is looking to substitute teach soon and eventually get into coaching football and wrestling. He'd also like to be involved with the family ranch as much as possible.
• "That is very important for me," Scott said of the ranch.
