Tulane defensive end Reggie Scott has been granted a sixth year of eligibility by the NCAA as a result of a medical hardship.
In his first career game as a true freshman in 2004, Scott suffered a season-ending injury in the opener against Mississippi State. He had another season-ending injury during the third game of the 2006 season.
Scott started 11 games in 2008. He had 31 tackles (25 solo), including 6.5 stops for loss, and two sacks. He recorded his first career interception vs. #14 East Carolina.
"We are excited for Reggie and elated that he'll be back on our defensive line this fall," Tulane head coach Bob Toledo said. "He will provide us with great experience and quality depth at the defensive end position because we also return Logan Kelley and Adam Kwentua, so it gives us the ability to move a back-up defensive end to defensive tackle and give us more depth on our defensive line."
