I've been told that the game of football isn't life, But my whole life this game is all I have ever known. You always hear the cliche phrase "don't take this game for granted, you never know when it'll be your last play." And it never hit me until I met my last play. Due to many/back to back concussions/TBI's I will be hanging my cleats up for the sake of my mental health and for my family. This game has taught me more in life than I can even put into words. I am so thankful for everyone who believed in me when the odds weren't in my favor. I am thankful for every coach I have ever had, and all the friends and family that pushed me to be the best I could be. Ever since 4th grade I have dreaded this moment, and it brings many tears to my eyes every time I think about it. But what helps me is understanding God has a plan for every one of us. With that being said I will trust his plan and will be accepting a student coaching opportunity that I was given at the U of Montana. This was truly god given and I am so thankful for the opportunity. And with the help of the UM coaching staff I will work to be the best coach I can be. I believe by being vulnerable I will be able to help other athletes through their rough times, and I truly believe God has me on this earth to help others. This is the hardest thing I have ever done, but I am surrounded by the best family, and best group of brothers in the nation. I love you guys! & Hopefully one day you guys will see Scooter coaching on the big screen!
And to my Griz fam we gettin a
this year!!
