DeAndre Scott brings ball-hawking, assignment-sound DB play to Akron
DeAndre Scott’s Akron profile reads like a defense-friendly corner/DB: in the 2016 season, he was a team captain who started 11 games and logged 39 tackles, 7 pass breakups, 1 interception, and 1 fumble recovery[3]. His best differentiator was playmaking on the ball—he posted 6 interceptions and a team-best 11 breakups in the 2015 season, showing real instinct and closing speed[3]. The extra value is the intangibles: captaincy, consistency as a full-time starter, and a reputation for making big plays when the game tightens up[3][15].
