John Scott III brings proven Patriot League impact to Fordham’s defensive front
John Scott III is a **physical, productive interior DL** who started all 12 games in 2024 and posted **44 tackles, 6.5 tackles for loss, 1.5 sacks, one forced fumble, and one fumble recovery** for Fordham. He stands out less as a pure splash-play rusher and more as a steady, disruptive presence who can hold up against the run, finish in traffic, and create negative plays. Fordham’s preseason recognition and his all-situations workload suggest he is already trusted as a core piece rather than a developmental project.
