Scott O'Neal Sisson (born July 21, 1971) is an American former professional football player who was a placekicker in the National Football League (NFL) for the New England Patriots (1993) and the Minnesota Vikings (1996).
He played college football for the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets, winning the 1990 national championship and earning first-team All-American honors in 1992.
[2] Scott Sisson's most notable kick as a college football player was a field goal which secured Georgia Tech's win over previously #1 ranked Virginia during the UVA homecoming game on November 3, 1990.
The win resulted in wild partying on the Georgia Tech campus including spontaneous bonfires, and set the stage for Georgia Tech's #1 ranking as national champions in that season's final UPI poll (with the AP poll going to Colorado), turning Sisson into a campus hero.
Georgia Tech was undefeated that year, having previously tied North Carolina, in contrast to the AP's #1 pick of Colorado which had lost one game that season.
