About Jared
BIO
Greetings, my name is Jared Scott, and I am delighted to share with you my exciting academic and professional journey. As a member of the Athletic Administration master’s program at Idaho State University, I have had the privilege of being a part of a program that has enriched my knowledge and given me the skills to excel in the sports industry. I am proud to be graduating in December of this year, completing a program that I started in the fall season of 2021. In addition to my academic success, I am also proud of my accomplishments as a professional football player. Before starting my graduate degree, I played for the National Football League (NFL) in 2022 and played for two teams during that time. It was an incredible experience that allowed me to pursue my passion while simultaneously pursuing my academic dreams.
My academic and sporting achievements demonstrate my deep interest in the world of sports, particularly marketing. Indeed, I have a Bachelor of Science in business marketing from Jacksonville State University in 2021. Combining my passion for sports and marketing, I dream of working as an agent in the sports marketing industry, ultimately owning my agency one day. I also aspire to work a scouting department in the NFL, eventually becoming a General Manager.
My journey has been full of challenges, from balancing my sporting career with my academic goals, to signing to the United States Football League (USFL) in spring 2023. However, through sheer hard work and determination, I can proudly say that I am finally fulfilling my dream of obtaining a master’s degree while pursuing my love for football.
