Fresno State's Steven Scott III: Size, upside, but still a mystery on the field
Scott is a 6-5, 280-pound defensive lineman at Fresno State who arrived via Illinois and was sidelined in 2025 by a fall-camp injury, so the most important story right now is projection, not production.[10][6] His appeal is obvious: NFL-style frame, sophomore eligibility, and a rare chance to grow into a disruptive interior presence if he stays healthy and translates his size into leverage and play strength.[10][15] Because he has no meaningful college stat line yet, he is a fit for a team that can develop raw traits and wait for long-term payoff rather than expecting immediate impact.[1][10]
