Los Angeles NUC Sophomore Overall MVP Chandler Scott Interview

Coach Schuman: What did you do to prepare for the National Underclassmen Combine?

Chandler Scott: I have been preparing by working hard in the weight room, increasing my speed and agility through athletic republic speed training, and having a healthy diet.

Coach Schuman:Have you been to the NUC before? How did you do? What were your expectations going into this years event?

Chandler Scott: No. I did great. I felt I was able to perform as well as I knew I could. Well honestly, I didn’t have any expectations. I Just wanted to compete with other skilled athletes.


Coach Schuman:You were MVP! What are your goals now?

Chandler Scott: My goals will remain the same. To be the best that I can be both academically and athletically. Also to continue to train and become faster, more agile, and stronger. Ultimately having the opportunity to play football for a top rated D1 college.

Coach Schuman:How did you hear about the National Underclassmen Combine and what was your favorite part about the event?

Chandler Scott: I heard about NUC from a friend that goes to acceleration/speed training (Athletic Republic) with me. My favorite part of the combine was the 1 on 1's. It's a great feeling when you lock-up a receiver or deflect a pass.

Coach Schuman:If you can choose 5 schools where you would be interested in playing what would they be?

Chandler Scott: I would have to say that my top 5 schools I would be interested in playing for would be BYU, USC, Oregon, Boise State, and TCU.

Coach Schuman:What do you like about high school football? What are your goals for your team and yourself?

Chandler Scott: I love the contact, and the intense competition against rival teams. It's what gets me out of bed everyday. Individually my goals are to stay healthy, receive league MVP, and to lead the league in tackles for a second time. For my team, I want to win a CIF Championship.

Coach Schuman:Do you play other sports? Tell about your accomplishments?

Chandler Scott: No. I decided as a Freshmen that I would focus on one sport.

Coach Schuman:What is your favorite thing about football? what makes it a great sport to you?

Chandler Scott: My favorite thing about football is when you are completely dominating the person on the other side of the ball, and he knows it. In football you not only have to out play your opponent,but out think them as well.

Coach Schuman:Tell me about your training regimen...How do you get better every day?

Chandler Scott: Well I work extremely hard in the weight room every day of the week. I go to Athletic Republic three times a week and work on speed, acceleration, lateral movement, and agility. I spend time on the field each week working on technique, and improving my reads and pass coverage.

Coach Schuman:What are you looking for in college? Academically? football?

Chandler Scott: I am looking to be able to push myself to the limit, and become the best football player that I can be. Ultimately I want to be apart of a team that wins the national championship. Academically I hope to keep my grades high and take steps towards becoming a sports medicine doctor.
