Matt Scott (born September 20, 1990) is an American former professional football quarterback.

Scott then led his team to the state championship game where they lost 31–37 to De La Salle.

In his freshman season Scott was the backup to senior Willie Tuitama and was used mostly as a change of pace quarterback who could run the ball.

Scott played poorly against Iowa completing only four passes and throwing an interception for a total of 50 yards.

[7] Scott got to play in the first two games of the season after Arizona had gained a sizable lead against their opponents Toledo and Citadel.

In the two games Scott started in Foles' absence Arizona won both times beating Washington by thirty points and going to UCLA to win there.

By redshirting Scott got the opportunity to come back for a fifth season and have the possibility of starting, rather than running out of eligibility as a backup quarterback.

This was seen as a positive for Scott who many saw as a perfect fit for Rodriguez's spread option offense because of his speed and mobility.

He stated that his parents were at every game he played in and was thankful to have the family support he had during this crazy ride in Arizona.

[12] Following the 2013 NFL draft, Scott was signed as an undrafted free agent by the Jacksonville Jaguars.
