The 19-year-old has been rewarded for outstanding form in the the under-19s where he has been playing in the front row.
Jordy is the eldest of Scott’s three sons, with Billy, 15, playing his first year with the Bulldogs in the under-17s and Flynn, 11, also a keen footballer.
Scott played in the Bulldogs 1993 first grade premiership, but missed the 1994 grand final through injury.
He said there was never any doubt his boys would follow him to the Bulldogs.
“They love the Bulldogs, and my years there were certainly my best time in footy,” he said.
“I’m wrapped for Jordy, he works so hard and just soaks up everything he can from the coaches out there.
“It’s a pretty proud moment when your young bloke makes his debut for the club you played for.”
