Leading rusher in win Scott accrued three rushes for 68 yards and a touchdown during Saturday's 28-0 victory against Colorado State.

Impact While Scott logged three or fewer carries for a third straight week, the senior still finished as Wyoming's leading rusher thanks to a 37-yard touchdown run in the third quarter, his second score of the year. After logging 29 carries in Week 1, Scott has only seen double-digit touches in one other game this season, as he's taken a backseat to Samuel Harris and Terron Kellman in the Cowboys' backfield.

Leading rusher vs. UNLV Scott logged 11 carries for 49 yards and gathered in two targets for 45 yards during Saturday's 31-17 loss against UNLV.

Impact Wyoming was forced to adopt a pass-heavy game plan after falling behind 24-3 in the first half, thereby limiting Scott's role. Still, the senior would finish as the team's leading rusher while seeing double-digit carries for the first time since Week 1. Scott figures to be a streaky option overall, with his role fluctuating drastically depending on the game script. Through five games, he's totaled 268 yards and a touchdown on 60 rushing attempts.

Shares workload in win Scott posted eight rushes for 58 yards and a touchdown and hauled in two targets for 12 yards during Saturday's 31-7 win over Northern Iowa.

Impact While Scott did log his first touchdown of the season in Saturday's win, the senior found himself in more of a timeshare after running the ball 29 times in Week 1 -- Samuel Harris and Terron Kellman had eight and seven carries, respectively, against Northern Iowa. Still, Scott saw most of the work early in the game before the Cowboys eventually pulled away in the second half. He should see a bigger workload next week against Utah.

Leads backfield in opener Scott logged 29 carries for 132 yards during Thursday's 10-0 win versus Akron.

Impact The Cowboys were expected to utilize a committee out of the backfield to open the season, though that certainly wasn't the case Thursday -- Scott saw a career-high 29 carries compared to just two for Terron Kellman. It looks like the senior running back will be leaned on heavily this season after rushing for 435 yards with three touchdowns on 92 carries in 2024.

Impact Scott was the Cowboys' leading rusher last fall, accumulating 435 yards and three scores on 4.7 yards-per-carry. While Wyoming running backs coach Donnell Kirkwood has gone on record saying he wants to have a backfield-by-committee, Scott could be the 1A in such a situation. Still, expect others, such as Terron Kellman, to be involved as well.

Won't play Saturday Scott (undisclosed) did not travel with Wyoming ahead of Saturday's matchup with New Mexico, 7220Sports.com reports.

Impact The news comes as a surprise, as Scott hadn't had any reported injuries after rushing for 341 yards and three touchdowns in his last four contests. With Scott sidelined, Harrison Waylee is expected to start for the Cowboys in his season debut.

Leads backfield again Scott recorded 11 rushes for 115 yards and a touchdown during Saturday's 27-25 loss to Utah State.

Impact Harrison Waylee (knee) was expected to return Saturday before ultimately sitting out an eighth straight game. Scott took advantage of the opportunity once again, topping 100 yards for the first time this season while adding his third rushing score. Even if Waylee does return next week as expected, Scott should continue to see work in a timeshare, at the least.

Sees 20 carries Scott tallied 20 rushes for 94 yards and a touchdown and reeled in 2 of 3 targets for two yards during Saturday's 27-24 loss to San Diego State.

Impact Scott continues to make the most of his chance to lead the Wyoming backfield -- the junior's now rushed for 191 yards with a pair of touchdowns in his last two games. Scott should serve as the Cowboys' go-to option again next week against San Jose State, though he'll likely fall into a committee with Harrison Waylee (knee) scheduled to return the following week against Utah State.

OCTOBER 15, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Leading rusher again Scott recorded 19 carries for 97 yards and a touchdown during Saturday's 31-19 win over Air Force.

Impact Scott's now ran for 136 yards on 30 carries in his last two games after seeing just 10 rush attempts in his first three contests. With DJ Jones (personal) and Harrison Waylee (knee) both projected to return in the coming weeks, Scott's reign as Wyoming's lead back may be short-lived. However, the 230-pound junior has made a case to remain a part of a committee for the Cowboys moving forward.

OCTOBER 1, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Leads backfield Saturday Scott compiled 11 carries for 39 yards and caught all three targets for 52 yards and a touchdown during Saturday's 44-17 loss to North Texas.

Impact Scott had just 10 carries on the year coming into Saturday's matchup, though he wound up out-touching DJ Jones 14-to-11 against the Mean Green. The junior Scott would also add his first touchdown of the season, breaking off a 41-yard catch-and-run in the second quarter. It remains to be seen how Wyoming's backfield will shake out going forward, though it appears that Scott has worked his way into a timeshare with Jones with Harrison Waylee (knee) sidelined.
