Gabe Nelson, managing editor for The Michigan Daily

Led by Scott, the Daily’s important football beat has set high standards for dedication and strong writing. Scott's coverage of Lloyd Carr's retirement as head coach and Michigan's ensuring underdog win in the Capital One Bowl served to cap off his tenure as the leader of the Daily's sports writers. Scott has developed a conversational and accessible voice in a way that few journalists, let alone young ones, can accomplish. His personality — opinionated, abrasive, but well-reasoned — comes through in every one of his columns, but he always retains the ability to step back and look objectively at the sports he's writing about.

Scott doubled up, acting as both the paper's Managing Sports Editor and also as a beat writer for the football team for the second straight year. He helped plan and contribute to the Lloyd Carr retirement coverage and the subsequent coverage of the coaching search. Scott also worked along with the online staff to help extend the sports section beyond just the physical print edition. Increased emphasis on blogs, a weekend online-update system and a weekly video feature called "Sports Roundtable" helped make the Daily one of the most-read college newspaper Web sites.

His touchdown grab to beat Penn State as a freshman made him a campus hero. He firmed his grasp on fans' hearts with dominating performances against Notre Dame and Wisconsin the next year. And his 10-catch, 123-yard performance two weeks ago against Northwestern reminded everyone of just how super he can be.
