He has coached 11 first-team All-Americans, including the 1999 NCAA Division III Player of the Year, Chad Johnson, and the Most Valuable Player of the 1999 national championship team, Anthony Hicks.

Scott played football at UCLA for one year before transferring to PLU, where he was a captain and All-America tight end on the 1980 NAIA national title team. Westering later had tryouts with the Buffalo Bills and San Francisco 49ers. He was inducted into the PLU Hall of Fame in 1998.

Scott earned his bachelor's degree in 1982 and his master's degree in 2002, both from PLU. He is also a physical education instructor at PLU.
