— Kolby Crawford (@kolby\_crawford) April 11, 2026 Erik Evans did rundown on the move to larger offenses that is worth your time. With his size, Scott definitely fits into that mold in size and style of play. The Kalen DeBoer staff has been going after big signal callers. Austin Mack, who started with DeBoer in Washington, towers at 6-6/232. Keelon Russell is tall at 6-3 but weighs 201. However, his approach to the game is copacetic. Incoming freshmen Jett Thomalla (6-4/229) and Tayden Kaawa (6-5/238) have big frames. 2027 Elijah Haven (6-5/215) fits that bill as well. Even preferred walk-on John Gazzaniga (6-7/245) looks like a linebacker. 2027 Trent Seaborn (6-1/200) seems to be the one outlier. As a sophomore, Scott Jr. completed 178 of 285 passes (62.7%) for 3,594 yards and 41 touchdowns with just four interceptions. He also added 22 carries for 115 yards and eight touchdowns on the ground. His 2025 season included 12 games with 200+ yards through the air, four with 300+ and one with 400+. Scott had one game in which he tallied seven touchdowns. Extended look at new 2028 Alabama QB commit Charles Scott Jr. from his sophomore season (13 games)
