BOULDER, Colo. (AP) - Darrell Scott's departure from the University of Colorado will probably be felt more on the recruiting trail than on the football field.
Scott's injury-filled career in Boulder ended Tuesday when the sophomore tailback texted his position coach to tell him he had decided to transfer. The No. 1 prep running back in the nation two years ago, Scott plans to join his uncle, former Buffaloes wide receiver Josh Smith, at UCLA next year.
His impact on the field during his 1 1/2 seasons in Boulder was limited mostly to kickoff returns.
His legacy is fodder right now for the growing ranks of critics who want coach Dan Hawkins to be the next one to leave town. Fed-up Buffs fans are planning a protest Saturday when the Buffaloes (2-6, 1-3 Big 12) host Texas A&M (5-3, 2-2).
