Background
Early life
Skattebo attended Rio Linda High School in Rio Linda, California. As a junior, he rushed for 3,550 yards and 42 touchdowns, helping his team to the state championship. Skattebo committed to play college football for the Sacramento State Hornets, the only Division I program to offer him a scholarship.
Sacramento State
As a freshman in 2021, Skattebo rushed for 520 yards and six touchdowns on 57 carries, earning third-team all-Big Sky honors. In 2022, Skattebo rushed for 1,382 yards and seven touchdowns, while also throwing for a touchdown, and returning an onside kick for a touchdown, the last five yards of which he ran backwards while being tackled by four opponents. As a result, he was named first-team all-Big Sky, Big Sky offensive player of the year, and an FCS All-American. After the season, Skattebo entered the NCAA transfer portal.
Arizona State
Skattebo transferred to play for the Arizona State Sun Devils. In week 4 of the 2023 season versus USC, he completed two of three passing attempts for 42 yards, rushed for 111 yards and a touchdown, and accumulated 79 receiving yards, including a touchdown. Skattebo finished the season with 783 rushing yards for 9 touchdowns and 286 receiving yards for a receiving touchdown. Noted for his versatility, he also completed six passes for 130 yards and a passing touchdown, and made 8 punts for 338 yards.
In 2024, in a week 2 win versus Mississippi State, he rushed for 262 yards, including a 39-yard rush that sealed the win. He was named the AP National Player of the Week, the Big 12 Offensive Player of the Week, and the Doak Walker Running Back of the Week. In the 2025 Peach Bowl against Texas, Skattebo racked up 284 total yards (143 rushing, 99 receiving, 42 passing), two rushing touchdowns, a two-point conversion and a passing touchdown, while setting the ASU single-season record for touchdowns from scrimmage. Despite the loss, he was named the Peach Bowl’s Offensive MVP, which was the first time the MVP was awarded to a member of the losing team in 26 years.
Skattebo finished his senior season with 293 carries for 1,711 yards and 21 touchdowns, and 45 receptions for 605 yards and three touchdowns. Skattebo broke the Arizona State record for total rushing yards in a season, became the first ASU player to cross 2,000 yards from scrimmage in a single season, and finished 5th in Heisman voting. His rushing yards were second-most in the FBS, only behind Heisman runner-up Ashton Jeanty.
Personal life
Skattebo has three siblings; a brother and two sisters. His brother, Leonard, played for Bowling Green as a fullback in 2017.
He is a fan of the WWE, and grew up watching it with his late grandfather. He gained the nickname "Nature Boy" when he was in high school in homage to 16-time world wrestling champion Ric "Nature Boy" Flair, whom Skattebo is a fan of.
On November 17, 2025, Skattebo, along with fellow rookie Abdul Carter, Roy Robertson-Harris, and comedian/actor Andrew Schulz were involved in a staged scuffle between The Judgment Day members JD McDonagh, Dominik Mysterio, Finn Bálor, and others on Monday Night Raw. McDonagh and Mysterio had been jawing at Schulz before Skattebo stepped between them. Mysterio and McDonagh took turns mocking Skattebo and Schulz before Skattebo shoving McDonagh to the ground, sparking a fight which resulted in multiple punches thrown from both sides as part of the act before the fight was broken up.
Skattebo is of Norwegian and Portuguese descent, and Mexican descent through his maternal grandmother.
Skattebo is well known for his brother-like relationship with New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart.
