Jamal Scott brings production, versatility, and edge to San Jose State’s linebacker room
Scott is a productive, return-caliber linebacker who has shown real disruption ability, including team-leading 3.0 sacks and 10.0 tackles for loss in the 2017 season, plus 17 tackles, a sack, and a fumble recovery through four starts in another stretch of play.[2][1] What makes him worth watching is his versatility and urgency: San Jose State has used him as a linebacker who can walk up as a stand-up edge player, which gives a defense flexibility and adds pressure without changing personnel.[5] He also brings a mature, team-first profile as a justice studies major with a stated interest in law enforcement.[2]
