Clyde Scott Jersey

The Arkansas Razorbacks #12 Clyde Scott Jersey Youth College Career is a tribute to a legendary figure in the history of Arkansas football. Clyde “Smackover” Scott is one of the most revered athletes to have ever donned the Razorback uniform, and his legacy is deeply intertwined with the University of Arkansas and its football program. Clyde Scott played for the Razorbacks from 1946-49, during which he rushed for 1,463 yards in his career, averaging 7.1 yards per carry in his senior season. His performance on the field was nothing short of spectacular, earning him the honor of being named an All-American and being recognized on the All-Southwest Conference team. Scott’s contributions were vital in securing the 1946 Southwest Conference Championship for the Arkansas Razorbacks. Scott’s jersey, #12, is a rare sight in college sports, as it is one of only two numbers retired by the Razorbacks’ football team, a testament to his impact and the respect in which he is held. His electric play in the 1940s helped fuel a massive spike in statewide interest in the program, with the opening of Little Rock’s War Memorial Stadium in 1948 being partly a response to the anticipated crowds his senior season would bring. Beyond his football career, Scott was a remarkable athlete known for his talent in both college and professional football, as well as his achievement in Olympic hurdling. His legacy includes multiple Hall of Fame inductions and a life that touched many spheres, from sports to personal relationships. He won a silver medal in the 1948 London Olympics in the 110-meter hurdles without ever having learned proper technique, showcasing his natural athleticism and determination. For young fans of the Razorbacks, wearing the #12 Clyde Scott Jersey is more than just supporting a player; it’s about honoring a legacy that transcends time and continues to inspire. The jersey represents not only Scott’s on-field achievements but also his character and the values he embodied throughout his life and career.
