Offensive lineman Michael Scott will not have far to go to university. A 6’2”, 270 lbs. offensive guard Scott, who hails from the rural bedroom community of Cochrane, AB, north west of Calgary has signed CIS Letter of Intent and attend the University of Calgary.
“Calgary is a great school and they have the program I wish to take. My parents went to the University of Calgary and I have cousins going to school there,” states Scott who preferred to stay close to home.
Scott comes from a highly successful high school program. He started on the 2014 and 2015 Provincial 3A Champion Cochrane Cobras at offensive guard under the direction of Head Coach Rob McNab. This past year he played both ways, playing nose tackle on the defensive line. He was named his team’s defensive player of the year and won that award for Rockyview League that surrounds Calgary. He capped his season being named Most Valuable Player for the Cobras.
“Michael comes for a great program that has been very successful. He is a hard working competitor who played both ways and will develop into an interior offensive lineman,” states recruiting coordinator Matt Berry.
Michael was also recruited by the University of Regina as well as Queen’s University and will study Economics at the University of Calgary.
He is the son of Doug and Rene Scott of Cochrane, AB.
