Avery Scott brings ball-hawking upside and veteran nickel versatility to North Dakota
In the 2024 season, Avery Scott emerged as a playmaker for North Dakota with 22 tackles and 2 interceptions, including a 40-yard pick-six against Murray State, and he was named to the MVFC All-Newcomer Team[8][14]. He looks like a fit for teams that want an experienced, physical DB who can thrive in nickel coverage, create turnovers, and play with urgency; the bigger context is that he’s also navigating eligibility issues this offseason, but reports indicate he’s expected to play in the 2026 opener[13].
