Two-star Scoob
Coming out of high school, Scooby was rated as a two-star recruit by the Scout.com recruiting service and had no other scholarship offers. But Arizona coach Rich Rodriguez liked what he saw on film and knew the linebacker could help the Wildcats right away.
"He was one of those guys where you watch five or six plays of his highlights and you say, 'This is the kind of guy we want,'" Rodriguez said in 2013. "Then you find out more about him, get to know who he is and his family and what he's all about — he's been everything we thought and then some.
"He's going to play as a true freshman in a lot of roles for us," RichRod also said in 2013.
Scooby added in 2013: "Arizona was my first offer. They offered in June before the camp circuit. I went to Boise State and they said they were going to offer me, but they never did. Arizona took a chance on me. They didn't need to see anything more. They saw my film and they knew they liked me. When they did that, I felt like I might as well commit and I'm very happy I did."
It seems as though Scooby has used his two-star rating to motivate him ever since he graduated from high school. After all, his Twitter account handle is still "@TwoStarScoob."
