Garrett Scott begins his first season as a graduate assistant coach with the University of Hawai‘i football staff in 2015, assisting with the coaching of Rainbow Warrior safeties.
Scott comes to UH after two seasons as a graduate assistant at Northern Iowa (UNI), aiding the Panthers to a No. 10 final ranking and 9-5 record. Scott helped to coach a Panther defensive unit that ranked 14th in total defense and 12th in interceptions in NCAA Division I Football Championship Subdivision (FCS).
Serving on the coaching staff at his alma mater, Scott wrapped up his four-year UNI playing career in 2012, accruing 248 tackles, including 72 stops, a pick-six and three pass breakups during his senior season. Scott aided the Panthers to consecutive Missouri Valley Football Conference (MVFC) Championships in 2010 and 2011 (Co-Champions), earning all-MVFC honorable mention to cap off an excellent playing career at UNI.
The Davenport, Iowa native graduated from UNI in the spring of 2013 with a degree in movement and exercise science with an emphasis in sport psychology, earning his masters in the same field at UNI.
