Gene Scott’s Monmouth legacy: a physical TE who earned trust as a blocker and red-zone weapon
In the 2021 season, Gene Scott stood out as a rugged, high-IQ tight end for Monmouth, starting all 11 games, earning Second Team All-Big South honors, and producing 15 catches for 148 yards and 2 touchdowns[1][5][7]. He was valued less for gaudy volume than for the stuff coaches love: reliable blocking, toughness, and leadership as a captain, with Monmouth noting he helped power the league’s top-scoring offense[5][6]. If you want a TE who can do the dirty work and still punish defenses near the goal line, Scott fits the bill[1][5].
