FARGO — Another Division I FBS “first” hit the North Dakota State football team on Monday, and the recipient was somewhat of a surprise considering running back DJ Scott did not start a game last season. “But congrats to him and North Dakota State for having their first-ever guy on an FBS watch list.” Said running backs coach Sam Ojuri: "That's awesome and he's playing like it right now." It certainly didn’t hurt Scott being in an NDSU West Coast offense that relies on a strong running game. Scott, in his second year with the Bison, put on 10 pounds since he transferred from Kennesaw State (Ga.) to 5-11, 215.
