Perrion Scott has battled injuries and academic problems during his sports career at Linn-Mar High School, but the speedster is currently listed on Linn-Mar's football roster on the IHSAA website.

Linn-Mar football coach Bob Forsyth and Linn-Mar athletic director Scott Mahmens declined comment on Scott's status with the team when contacted by the Metro Sports Report.

Scott was injured during much of the 2013 football season, but he showed what he can do when healthy when he rushed for 200 yards and two touchdowns against Xavier. He carried the ball 49 times for 305 yards and six touchdowns last year in six games.

Scott burst onto the scene as a sophomore at the Class 4A state track meet in 2013 when he helped Linn-Mar win the state title. He finished first in the 4x200 relay, second in the 200 meter dash, third in the 100 meter dash and third in the 4x100 relay.

Scott was academically ineligible for the 2013 track season as a junior.

If Scott is eligible to play football for Linn-Mar this season, it would greatly bolster the Lions following their 2-7 record in 2013.
