Mott is expected to enroll for the summer, and after speaking with him a couple times, he is a very sharp young man. With not a lot out there on him, here is his bio from his previous stop:

• Major: Economics
• Played four years of football, two years of baseball and one year of lacrosse in high school
• As a senior, completed 57 percent of his passes for 1,923 yards and 25 touchdowns
• Football: First Team All-CIF, two-time First Team All-League Football, League Offensive MVP, Orange County All-Star
• Baseball: Two-time Second Team All-League
• Four-time Head of School Honors, Honor Roll

He's got a good arm as noted in this film:

Nice to have another arm.

Rick – is this FAU's annual transfer walk-on arm following the likes of Agner, Coner Miller, etc.? This is not a scholarship transfer as of now, right?

Yes, but he's much better than what we had in the 3-4 hole in years past IMHO.

Buddy looks like a linebacker trying out for QB lol He definitely has an arm and experience.

Mott received no invite to camp and is off to Colorado.
