Draft Profile: Bio
Gee Scott Jr. arrived at Ohio State as a highly-touted wide receiver prospect in the 2020 class. The Eastside Catholic product from Washington state earned four-star ratings from major recruiting services, ranking as the nation's No. 12 wide receiver. Scott played in the prestigious Army All-American Bowl after a stellar high school career that included back-to-back state championships and impressive receiving stats.At Ohio State, Scott transitioned to tight end in 2021, showcasing his versatility and team-first mentality. Over his college career, he appeared in 36 games with three starts, recording 20 receptions for 140 yards and one touchdown. His senior season in 2023 was his most productive, with 10 catches for 70 yards and his first career score.
Scott's development at tight end has been a gradual process, transforming his body from a 210-pound receiver to a 245-pound tight end. He graduated in August 2023 with a degree in human development and family science, demonstrating his commitment both on and off the field.
Scouting Report: Strengths
- Explosive athlete with elite straight-line speed for the position, showing burst off the line and ability to threaten vertically
- Fluid route runner with natural hands, leveraging his wideout background to create separation in the short and intermediate areas
- Displays soft mitts and body control when adjusting to the ball, making him a reliable target in traffic
- Possesses the wheels to stretch the seam and create mismatches against second-level defenders
- Red zone mismatch potential with his size/speed combo and receiver-like ball skills
- High football IQ evident in successful position switch, showing ability to process new concepts quickly
- Savvy route technician in the intermediate game, demonstrating good feel for soft spots in zone coverage
- Versatile chess piece with alignment flexibility, offering creative coordinators multiple ways to create favorable matchups
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Raw in the trenches, lacking the punch and anchor needed to consistently win as an in-line blocker
- Undersized for the position, raising concerns about his ability to hold up against NFL edge-setters
- Limited production in college offense, leaving questions about his readiness to handle a full route tree
- Largely untested as a vertical threat, with minimal tape stretching defenses deep
- May struggle to uncover against NFL-caliber man coverage, particularly physical safeties who can match his athleticism
Scouting Report: Summary
Gee Scott Jr. profiles as a developmental "F" tight end with intriguing upside in the passing game. His transition from wide receiver to tight end showcases his football acumen and willingness to adapt for the team's needs. Scott's elite athleticism for the position has run a blazing 4.60 40-yard dash, giving him a solid foundation to build upon at the next level.Scott's best fit will be in a multiple tight-end system that emphasizes creating mismatches in the passing game. His background as a receiver and continued development as a route runner make him an interesting chess piece for creative offensive coordinators. However, as noted in the scouting report, Scott is "more of a tight end than ever," indicating his commitment to the position transition. This dedication will be crucial as he continues to refine his blocking technique and adds functional strength to better handle in-line responsibilities.
While Scott's draft stock may be tempered by his limited collegiate production, his physical tools and developmental trajectory make him an interesting day-three prospect or priority free agent. As the scouting report emphasizes, tight end is "probably the most developmental position on the field," and Scott's journey reflects this reality. Teams willing to invest in his growth could find themselves with a versatile offensive weapon who can stress defenses in multiple ways.
