One of the most successful quarterbacks in Delaware's illustrious football history, Scott Brunner played under head coach Tubby Raymond and led the Blue Hens to the NCAA Division II national title in his only year as a starter in 1979. A native of Lawrenceville, NJ, Scott earned first team All-American honors by the American Football Coaches Association and was the Eastern College Athletic Conference All-East Player of the Year in 1979 when he threw for 2,401 yards and a then school record 24 touchdowns in leading Delaware to a 13-1 record and a national title game win over Youngstown State. He also served as a backup in 1978 (behind future NFL player Jeff Komlo) and helped UD advance to the NCAA II championship game. A 1980 Delaware graduate, Scott was selected in the sixth round of the National Football League draft by the New York Giants and enjoyed a solid six-year professional career. He was inducted into the NCAA Division II Hall of Fame in 2002 and has remained active in college football as a television and radio announcer, including covering several Delaware games. He currently resides in Cranbury, NJ and has three children, daughters Ashley (20) and Whitney (16) and son Adam (16). Ashley is currently a junior at the University of Delaware.
