Da’Mari Scott took a circuitous route to becoming a starting wide receiver at Fresno State.
Step No. 1 was quitting the team in February.
“He had some off-the-field things going on, but he also was disappointed with his role,” Bulldogs coach Tim DeRuyter said. “I told him he was free to look for greener pastures somewhere else.”
Step No. 2 was intending to move back to his home state of Michigan to be with his sick mother, Donna Covington. Only for her to suffer a fatal heart attack March 7.
“It kind of was sudden,” Scott said.
