Latrell Scott (born July 17, 1975) is an American football coach who is currently the running backs coach at Maryland.[1] He was previously the head football coach of Norfolk State University, a position he held from 2015 through 2020 season that was canceled due to COVID-19 concerns.[2] Scott served as the head football coach at the University of Richmond in 2010 and at Virginia State University from 2013 to 2014.
Scott grew up in the Richmond, Virginia area and attended Mechanicsville High School.[3]
Early on, Scott served as the wide receivers coach at several schools, including the University of Virginia, the University of Tennessee, Richmond, Virginia Military Institute (VMI), and Western Carolina University. He also served as an assistant coach at Fork Union Military Academy. Scott was named head coach of the University of Richmond on December 15, 2009, replacing Mike London.
At 34 years old, Scott was the youngest head coach in NCAA Division I football at the time of his hiring.[4] Scott resigned from his coaching duties at the University of Richmond on August 23, 2011 after being charged with driving while intoxicated.[5][6] Scott's resignation came just a week before the team's first game of the season.
On April 6, 2012 Scott was hired by Mickey Matthews as tight ends coach at James Madison University of the Colonial Athletic Association.[7] On January 14, 2013, Scott was introduced as the 23rd all-time head coach at Virginia State University.[8]
