When Josiah Scott decided he was bypassing his final season at Michigan State, he didn’t need to hear from anyone in the NFL.
“When you leave college early, you never know what to expect,” Scott said on Saturday. “I never filed for a grade or anything like that, I was kind of just betting on myself.”
That bet paid off as Scott was taken in the fourth round of the NFL Draft by the Jacksonville Jaguars. The former Spartans cornerback was taken No. 137 overall, the 31st pick in the fourth round, making him the first Michigan State player taken.
