DJ Scott is emerging as NDSU’s do-it-all ground threat
In the 2025 season, North Dakota State RB DJ Scott played in all 13 games, rushing for 502 yards and 6 touchdowns on 95 carries while earning Missouri Valley Football Conference All-Newcomer honors[1][13][14]. He brings compact power at 5-11, 203-215 pounds, enough burst to hit chunk plays, and the kind of steady, reliable production that showed up even as he shared the backfield; the Bison also named him to the 2026 Maxwell Award watch list, which says the national buzz is real[1][7][13].
