Anthony Scott is in his second season as an assistant coach at Shippensburg University in 2023. He serves as the team’s offensive line coach.
Scott was hired as an assistant coach at Shippensburg University on March 14, 2022. He coached the team’s running backs during the 2022 spring season before transitioning to the offensive line.
In his first season as a Raider assistant, Scott oversaw an offensive line that converted 11-of-17 4th down tries (64.7%) and scored touchdowns in 19-of-32 opportunities inside the redzone (59.3%).
Scott joined Shippensburg from UNC Pembroke after serving as an offensive line coach in 2021, helping coach the Braves to a 6-5 record.
Before his time with UNC Pembroke, Scott spent five seasons at Lincoln as its associate head coach. His coaching duties with the Lions included the offensive line and tight ends. In his first season with Lincoln, he coached running back Stephen Scott to the first 1,000 yard (1,258) rushing season in school history. In that same year (2015), the team set several school records, including all-purpose yards, rushing yards, and rushing touchdowns.
Prior to his time with Lincoln, Scott held several roles with Alfred State during two seasons with the Pioneers, including a stint as interim head coach. Scott also served as the offensive coordinator and offensive line coach. He mentored seven All-United Collegiate Athletic Association (UCAA) award winners during his time at Alfred State.
Scott spent the 2012 season with the Augustana (Ill.) Vikings as offensive line and tight end coach. From 2008-11, Scott spent four seasons as an assistant for the Saint Augustine’s Falcons where he coached the offensive line and tight ends. The Falcons won 21 games during his tenure, including nine wins in the 2010 season.
Scott got his coaching start in 2003 at East Forsyth High school as an assistant coach. He spent three seasons with East Forsyth before taking on the same role at Brevard College in 2006-07. Scott had a short stint at Lenoir-Rhyne in 2008 before joining Saint Aug’s.
As a college athlete, Scott was a three-year letter winner with Georgia Southern. He was a key factor on the offensive line for a team that won four-straight Southern Conference championships as well as back-to-back NCAA Division 1-AA (now Division 1 FCS) National championships in 1999 and 2000 under head coach Paul Johnson. Scott was a member of a senior class that finished with a 52-7 record and averaged more than 48 points a game.
In addition to his work on the sidelines, Scott has been active with camps and clinics, serving as a counselor at the Hawg Tuff Football Camp, the Sports International Football Camp and the O-D Football Camp.
