Jackson State TE Derek Scott: a developmental target with size and upside
Derek Scott is a 6-foot-3, 215-pound sophomore tight end for Jackson State, wearing No. 86, and his profile suggests a player still carving out his role rather than one piling up headline stats in 2025.[1] The most useful context is that Jackson State’s tight end room had turnover in spring 2024, creating a chance for Scott to compete for more snaps; he projects as a fit for teams wanting a developmental TE with frame, blocking potential, and room to grow into a bigger receiving threat.[1][9]
