Earlier today, we noted a report from a television station in Denver, which stated that former Colorado running back Darrell Scott could be on the verge of becoming current Colorado running back Darrell Scott yet again.
The station, citing an unnamed source, went so far as to report that Scott had met with head coach Dan Hawkins about a potential return to the program.
If that’s the case, it’s news to both the head coach and at least one other member of his staff.
According to the Denver Post, and through a member of the school’s sports information department, Hawkins has denied that he had talked to Scott about a return. Scott’s position coach, Darian Hagan, told the paper that he’d not been in contact with Scott either.
So, while Scott may want to return to the school, he’s yet to reach out to the person who will be the ultimate arbiter as to whether a return will happen.
Scott, the top-rated back in the Class of 2008, left the school in early December with the intention of transferring to another Div. 1-A, with UCLA immediately being mentioned as a possibility.
