He's clearly an intelligent kid (3.6 GPA), and his stats are pretty solid. Not sure why he's listed as a pro style QB. Sure, his 40 isn't great, but he runs the spread in high school, and he says in the article that he likes the spread.
Check his film out on rivals, very solid.

Pleased as punch if the kid visits, even if we don't get him, a visit helps. Sounds to me like Scroggins doesn't mind the spread, his dad however is not for it. Unforutnately his dad runs the show.
Unfortunately, it's going to take a spread QB being successful in the NFL for that idea to go away. It could be Tebow, it most likely won't be Masoli. Once some spread QBs make it, more college teams will switch and more NFL teams will be more open to dual-style QBs. Until then, this is going to be our biggest problem recruiting QBs.
I doubt it will be Tebow either (even though I'm a Tebow honk), it will more than likely be either Bradford or McCoy. In
any case it's only a matter of time before this type of negative recruiting dies.

I think that Bradford and McCoy are going to be the spread QBs who can make it in the NFL. They are pass-first QBs who can run if necessary, not run-first QBs who can pass if necessary.
Not to sound like a homer, but watch out for Dixon. I have stayed on top of the Steelers forums and reports, and they are thinking VERY highly of him. I would expect that we could see him traded off in the next 2 years to compete for a starting position if he is able to play a few games. With big Ben's nack for missing games, I expect that he could play more than some expect this coming season.
