Jay Scott brings veteran SMU defensive-back grit with special-teams toughness
In his SMU years, Jay Scott was a seasoned, physical DB at 6-foot-1 and 210 pounds who played like a tone-setter, not a highlight chaser. SMU’s own notes credited him as part of a defense that produced two shutouts, tied an NCAA season record for pick-sixes, and ranked tied for third nationally in takeaways and second in fumble-return TDs. He had some ball production and TFL impact, but his bigger value was reliability, size, and edge—good fit for a team wanting a hard-nosed, assignment-sound defender with veteran presence.
