Who is Sophie Scott? A detailed look into her relationship with Alabama QB

When you’re a starter in Nick Saban’s Alabama Crimson Tide Football team, you’re bound to get attention from the girls in college. However, Mac Jones was ‘smitten’ by Sophie Scott. And behold, it was love at first sight!

Sophie studied at Kirkwood High School. Scott, like her better half, was also an athlete during her teenage years. She played soccer at Kirkwood and made a reputation as a Division I recruit. However, she suffered two subsequent ACL injuries after graduating in 2018.

Sophie is currently studying kinesiology and exercise science at the University of Alabama. She also works at the University Orthopedic Clinic.

Her dad, Shane Scott, is the Founder and CEO of EliteX 360 and Concierge Testing Solutions. Meanwhile, Sophie’s mother works as a kindergarten teacher for the Lindbergh School District.

How did Sophie meet National Championship winner Mac Jones?

Despite committing to the University of Kentucky in 2017, Jones joined the University of Alabama to study Business Communication.

He was redshirted in his freshman year. He started 14 games in 2018 before losing the starting spot to Tua Tagovailoa a year later. It was between this period that Sophie and Mac crossed paths. They’ve been together ever since.
