I agree there are kids out there like 2015 NT Javier Edwards from Houston, TX.
The good thing about Scott is that he has southern roots (based in Mississippi) so that is good first step in projecting his future success as a dlinemen based on potential physical attributes. Which is a good because UM's last few west coast breed dlinemen did not pan out while at Miami.
Here is an article about recruiting genetics based on geography

Golden should hire Jim Leavitt as Co-DC/LB coach an can Paul Williams then move Hurley to DB coach an a few key kids would be back on the UM band wagon. Along with the fan favorite move of bringing in Kevin Patrick to replace Jethro Franklin, an Patrick is a monster recruiter as well as a very good technical coach.

Unfortunately after reading this and the other articles I am thinking his Top 2 schools are USC (who want to Grey Shirt him) and Ole Miss (who gave him a committable $EC offer). So when Green picks USC I think Scott will land with Ole Miss an collect a little $EC type love. Because unless Ole Miss flips a DT commit from somewhere then Scott is their best option left on the board other than 2015 DT/NT Ross Donelly who is choosing between Stanford (he visits 1/16) & Ole Miss (LMAO on that one).

Ole Miss offers prospect with 'huge upside'
Riley Blevins, The Clarion-Ledger 2:53 p.m. CST January 8, 2015
Kevin Scott doesn't know much about Ole Miss.
But he knows this: The Rebels don't trek to California to recruit just anyone.
"They told me they rarely – if ever - look at players on the West Coast. They said someone has to be really, really special to recruit someone way out here," said Scott, who picked up an Ole Miss offer on Tuesday. "(Ole Miss defensive line coach Chris) Kiffin told me I have the best upside he maybe has ever seen - like huge upside. He told me that I'm better than most anyone he's recruited this year."
A glance at Scott's offer sheet doesn't suggest that.
Other than Ole Miss, the defensive tackle owns offers from Kansas State, San Diego State, UNLV and Fresno State.
There's a reason for that.
"This is my first year playing football," he said.
The 6-foot-5, 280-pounder spent his childhood and early high school years playing only basketball.
"It's not that I didn't want to play football," Scott said. "In California, to be able to play Pop Warner, you have to be a certain weight to play in each division. I was always too big to play."
Scott finally decided to go out for football his junior year, but had recently transferred to Salesian High School.
"I had to sit out because of rules," he said. "Once I finally was able to get in pads, the season was really over. So, my senior year was really my first taste of real football."
Needless to say, he impressed.
Scott logged more than 40 tackles, 18 sacks and an interception playing as a three-technique, which is an interior defensive lineman.
The college interest started coming once he posted his highlight film after the season.
"One of (Ole Miss') recruiting coordinators said he watched my film then showed it to the entire staff like right away," Scott said. "He said they all like loved it."
A scholarship was extended shortly thereafter, and Scott plans to take an official visit to Ole Miss on Jan. 30.
He'll also visit San Diego State and possibly UNLV.
"I watched (Ole Miss) play in the bowl game. I know Michael Oher went there before," Scott said. "I mean, my coaches told me it's a big time place. It is the SEC, after all."
Scott will travel nearly 2,000 miles to arrive in Oxford, but he's not concerned about the distance.
"I actually have family in Mississippi. I've never been there, but my grandmother was born there and I have some cousins there, too," said Scott, who plans to announce his decision on National Signing Day. "So, I'm sure it will feel like home, but staying close to home isn't a big deal to me."
He's also not concerned about playing time.
"That's not a factor to me," Scott said. "I'm still kind of new to football. I just want to go to a place that can make me the best I can be.
"I'm really new to this process. So it seems really crazy to me."

Here is a whole game 15 minute highlight video from Scott's team 2nd round playoff win, this video isn't centered on him so that way there is a better unbiased evaluation of his skills not found in individual player highlight videos.
Watch for #55 on the dline in the dark jersey's he also the tallest.
