Port Orange (Fla.) Spruce Creek running back Marvin Scott III has committed to Nebraska. The high-recruited Sunshine State standout also considered offers from Georgia Tech, Florida State, South Carolina, Tennessee and Michigan.
Scott is commit No. 10 for head coach Scott Frost and his staff in this 2020 recruiting cycle. He is the second running back pledge joining Sevion Morrison, giving the Huskers what will certainly be one of the better backfield hauls in the Big Ten.
Ranked by 247Sports as the nation’s No. 42 running back, the 5-foot-9, 203-pound Scott is a terrific blend of power, quickness and speed. As a junior he rushed for over 1,220 yards and 17 touchdowns in just eight games. Between the tackles, on the perimeter, Scott is a big-play waiting to happen, he uses his blockers well and has terrific burst upon seeing daylight. During the spring he ran a 4.54 second laser-timed 40-yard dash at The Opening Regional in Orlando with a 4.38 shuttle and 36-9 inch vertical leap. He is also a dedicated guy in the weight room having hit 405 pounds on the bench press.
"Suddenness, this kid is extremely quick and it's not just a space thing, he can make guys miss in tight windows and there is really no substitute for that in any offense but it's maximized in what a program like Nebraska is trying to do offensively," 247Sports National Analyst John Garcia said. "He is one of the most fun kids to watch in Florida."
