After lighting up the field while playing for UofD, he caught the eyes of Big Ten Colleges like Wisconsin, Michigan State, Iowa, and Michigan. After a long and hard process of picking which college he wanted to go to, he chose Wisconsin. Scott Nelson proved to colleges that he can excel in the classroom and in the community. Scott performed Senior Service Volunteering at a Detroit Homeless Shelter every week as well as sustaining high honors in the classroom. The Wisconsin Badgers are lucky to have such a talented young football player with a passion to excel in the classroom as well as the football field.
