South Carolina State's Jayden Scott: Solidifying lead role in backfield

Scott is expected to maintain the lead role in the NC State backfield heading into the 2026 season, per Tucker Sennett of SI.com.

Analysis:

Scott has been looked at as the heir apparent for the Wolfpack running game throughout the offseason and has the confidence of the coaching staff. The 5-foot-10 redshirt sophomore ran for 581 yards and four touchdowns on 5.5 YPC to go along with 15 receptions for 132 scoreless yards through the air last season.
