Scott Huff is an American football coach who is the Tight Ends for the Los Angeles Rams of the National Football League (NFL). He previously spent one season with the Seattle Seahawks as offensive line coach and seven seasons as the offensive line coach for the Washington Huskies, where he helped develop multiple NFL draft picks and coached the nation's top offensive line in 2023.
Huff played college football at Boise State University from 1999 to 2002, starting 40 games at center. As a senior, he earned First-Team All-Western Athletic Conference honors and helped lead the Broncos to a 12–1 season and a WAC championship. In 2005, he was named to the Broncos Stadium 35th Anniversary Team in recognition of his collegiate career.
After his playing career, Huff spent time as a graduate assistant at Arizona State University, where he earned his master’s degree in secondary education in 2005.
Huff returned to his alma mater in 2006 as tight ends coach under head coach Chris Petersen. During his 11 seasons at Boise State (2006–16), he held multiple roles, including tight ends coach, offensive line coach, special teams coordinator and co-offensive coordinator.
In 2006, his first season on staff, the Broncos completed a 13–0 season capped by a win over Oklahoma in the 2007 Fiesta Bowl. From 2007 to 2009, Huff’s offensive line units helped Boise State finish 10–3, 12–1 and 14–0 while allowing an average of just 12.3 sacks per season. The 2009 Broncos led the nation in scoring offense while surrendering only five sacks.
From 2010 to 2011, Huff coached the tight ends for an offense that ranked among the top ten nationally in both total offense and scoring. Between 2012 and 2013, he served as tight ends coach and special teams coordinator, with Boise leading the Mountain West Conference in kickoff return average (2012) and field goal percentage and punt return average (2013).
Huff resumed offensive line duties in 2014 as the Broncos ranked ninth nationally in scoring and 14th in total offense. He coached two First-Team All-Mountain West linemen in 2015 and was a Broyles Award nominee in 2016, the same season Boise State's offensive line was a semifinalist for the Joe Moore Award.
Huff joined the University of Washington coaching staff in 2017, spending seven seasons as the offensive line coach under head coaches Chris Petersen, Jimmy Lake, and Kalen DeBoer. From 2017 to 2019, he also served as run game coordinator.
Under Huff's coaching, Washington produced at least one First-Team All-Pac-12 offensive lineman in every season from 2017–2023. Seven of his linemen later spent time on NFL rosters, including first-round draft picks Kaleb McGary (2019) and Troy Fautanu (2024).
In 2023, Huff's offensive line won the Joe Moore Award as the nation's top offensive line after allowing just 11 sacks and 46 tackles for loss, while helping Washington to a 14–1 season and an appearance in the College Football Playoff National Championship. Fautanu earned Third-Team All-American honors, All-Pac-12 first-team recognition, and the 2023 Morris Trophy.
The 2022 Huskies led the nation in passing offense (369.8 yards per game) and third-down conversion rate (57%), and ranked second nationally in total offense (515.8). Washington allowed just seven sacks that season, second fewest in the nation, and finished with the No. 25 rushing offense.
