  A full year of emotions poured out of Ohio State's Gee Scott Jr. in one ill-advised moment against Michigan last Nov. 26. The former wide receiver kept improving in his second full year as a tight end. He played the second-most snaps in that position group. He caught his first touchdown pass, at Michigan State. And until midway through the third quarter against the Wolverines, he was playing one of his best games of the season. In an inexplicably out-of-character moment, Scott head butted Michigan defensive back Rod Moore while they were out of bounds at the end of a play. For all the wrong reasons, it stood up as the most notable play of the former top-100 prospect's career thus far.

Discussing that play in Atlanta before the Buckeyes' Peach Bowl playoff semifinal against Georgia, Scott said he let his emotions get the best of him. "That doesn't define my season," Scott said. "That can maybe define my season from the outside looking in. But internally there's so much more that goes into it - not only me, but we've worked too hard to allow something so small to alter a year's worth of work." New tight ends coach Keenan Bailey recruited Scott out of Washington when he was a quality-control coach for OSU's receivers. He said Scott came out of the Michigan loss and strung together several weeks of his best practices heading into the Peach Bowl. What Bailey termed a "silly, fluke injury" prevented Scott from playing. That absence was magnified when starter Cade Stover left with a back injury in the first half. Bailey, who did not officially take over the tight end room until January, said he and Scott never addressed the Michigan gaffe. Instead, they have ongoing conversations about a personal legacy still in the making and the potential of the coming season. "He's in control of his destiny, in that sense," Bailey said. "I'm super excited to work with him." - Cleveland Plain Dealer
