Michigan State Football: Josiah Scott’s NFL decision surprising but deserved

It was the decision everyone felt would be coming sooner rather than later but hoped wouldn’t result in a departure until next year. Josiah Scott announced he would be forgoing his final year of eligibility to enter the NFL draft and chase his dream.

Scott’s decision was surprising given that he seemed like the kind of kid who would stick around for four years not because he didn’t have the talent to go pro, but because he had the potential to accomplish so much more than he had in three years, especially coming off back-to-back disappointing 7-6 seasons.
