Here's a name of a quarterback past who some of you might remember.

From the Seattle fishwrap ...
Backup quarterback J.K. Scott: "For me, it was bittersweet"

By Nick Perry and Ken Armstrong
Seattle Times staff reporters


J.K. Scott came to the UW in 1997 from suburban Los Angeles, a quarterback with a powerful arm, glittery statistics, a cheerful disposition and an almost perfect grade-point average.

In Seattle, few things worked out as planned.
After the 2000 season, Scott transferred, even though he had just one year of eligibility remaining. If he has one regret, he says, it might be that he didn't leave earlier: "But then I would not be a part of that Rose Bowl team."

Scott transferred to Liberty University, a Christian school in Lynchburg, Va. He started one game — the season's last — and threw a late interception that cost the game.

After his stint at Liberty, Scott still didn't have a degree. But he had convinced Barbara Hedges, the UW's athletic director, to provide him with a post-eligible scholarship, allowing him to finish what he'd started. "Hedges told me I'd been a team player. The way I sold it to them, it would be good for their [athlete] graduation rates."
