Oliver Edward "Bo" Scaife, III (born January 6, 1981) is a former American football tight end. He was selected by the Tennessee Titans in the sixth round of the 2005 NFL draft.^[1] He played college football at Texas.

Early life

Scaife attended Mullen High School in Denver, Colorado with fellow NFL tight end Alex Smith and J.D. Chism. He earned Parade All-American, Gatorade Circle of Champions Colorado Player of the Year, Rocky Mountain News Colorado Offensive Player of the Year and second-team All-USA honors at tight end by USA Today as a senior. Also two-time first-team Colorado 5A All-State selection by Denver Post. Scaife led his team to Colorado 5A state title as a senior, while catching 62 passes for 1,400 yards and 19 touchdowns and rushing for 250 yards on 20 carries and one touchdown.

College career

He played college football at the University of Texas from 1999 to 2004, and was a sixth year senior after missing both the 2000 and 2002 seasons due to ACL injuries. As a sophomore, he was an All-Big 12 honorable mention, and in his last year, he won first-team All-Big 12 Selection. Scaife finished his career with 75 receptions for 997 yards (13.3 yards per rec.), and five touchdowns. He graduated with an education degree in December 2004.^[2]

Tennessee Titans

Playing for the Titans, Scaife had a productive rookie campaign. Despite being the third-string tight end, he managed to catch 37 passes for 273 yards and 2 touchdowns.

With the Titans selecting Vince Young with the 3rd overall pick in the 2006 NFL draft, Scaife was reunited with his good friend and former Longhorns teammate.

Bo Scaife is the only tight end in NFL history to rush for a touchdown, catch a touchdown, return a kickoff, and record a tackle in the same season.
