Getting back on track
Following his All-American season in 2014, Scooby suffered a lateral meniscus tear in Week 1 of the 2015 season.
Three weeks later, he decided to come back and play against UCLA, where he suffered a foot injury that kept him out until Arizona's bowl game. He registered just eight tackles over parts of the two games he played in before the bowl game.
During his 11 combined weeks on Arizona’s injury report last season, Scooby took up boxing, found a way to distract himself on game days and got even bigger, if that’s possible.
Although he said he probably shouldn't have rushed himself back to play against the Bruins, he was certain of one thing.
“I’m going to play in the bowl game,” Scooby said in November. “Football players play football. I’m healthy.”
