Dior Scott (Last Chance U)

MindShape

Dior Scott is 21 years old and is from Antioch, California. Dior was the star wide receiver for the Laney College Eagles in Season 5 of Last Chance U on Netflix. The season takes you through Dior's story but we wanted to bring him on the podcast to dive deeper into his life. Growing up Dior and his Dads relationship slowly deteriorated, it got to the point where Dior couldn't look at his Dad as a father figure anymore. His turbulent relationship with his Dad caused a lot of set backs in his life, especially when it came to football. After he ran away his Dad pulled him off his high school football team which caused him to lose his scholarship offers. Dior decided to take matters into his own hands, he attended Laney Community College in hopes that he could earn a scholarship by impressing college scouts. He ended up attending Laney and playing for Coach Beam. In order to survive he worked at Wing Stop and lived in his car. He did it all so he could one day live his dream of making it to the NFL.
After playing 11 games at Laney he was left with 0 offers. Despite having zero offers Dior was still confident that he had what it takes to get a scholarship, he just needed an opportunity to prove himself. With the help of Coach Beam he got the chance to walk on to the University of Hawaii football team. After working his ass off, Dior finally earned what he worked so hard to get. In early February 2021 he was offered a scholarship to play at the University of Hawaii.
