Scott Huff joins Los Angeles in 2025 as the tight ends coach after spending last season coaching the offensive line with the Seattle Seahawks.
In his first NFL season, the Seahawks offensive line finished fifth in rushes per touchdown (22.53), eighth in passing yards per game (236.5), tied for the 11th-most rushing touchdowns (17), and tallied the 14th-most yards per game (332.2). Under his guidance, C Olu Oluwatimi started the final eight games of the season and allowed just six hurries and eight pressures. QB Geno Smith totaled career-highs in passing yards (4,320) and completion percentage (70.4%). RB Zach Charbonnet also had a breakout season and led the team with a career-high eight rushing touchdowns.
Previously, Huff spent seven seasons with the Washington Huskies (2017-23) as their offensive line coach. From 2017-19, he was the Huskies run game coordinator on top of his duties as offensive line coach. Under his guidance from 2017-2023, the Huskies had at least one First-Team All-Pac-12 offensive lineman each season, and two first-teamers on three occasions. In all, seven UW offensive linemen coached by Huff have spent time on an NFL roster including four draftees. OL Troy Fautanu (2024) and OL Kaleb McGary (2018) were both first-round draft picks.
In 2023, Huff was part of a coaching staff that for the second year in a row, produced an offensive line that ranked among the nation's best in sacks allowed (11) and permitted just 46 tackles for loss. That group received the Joe Moore Award, recognizing them as the best offensive line in the nation. The award-winning unit was led by Fautanu, a Third-Team All-American who was also named to the All-Pac-12 first team for the second season in a row. He took home the 2023 Morris Trophy as the top offensive lineman in the Pac-12 Conference.
In 2022, Washington led the nation in both passing offense (369.8 yards per game) and third-down conversion rate (57 percent), and finished second in total offense (515.8 yards per game). Just one season earlier, Washington finished the season 73rd in pass offense and 114th in total offense. The unit also paved the way for the FBS's No. 25-ranked rushing offense and allowed just seven sacks, the second-fewest in the nation. Four of UW's five starting linemen received some level of All-Pac-12 honors.
In 2021, Huff added another First-Team All-Pac-12 selection to his résumé as Jaxson Kirkland earned that honor for the second season in a row. In 2019, Washington's offensive line paved the way for yet another 1,000-yard rusher (RB Salvon Ahmed), while limiting opponents to just 22.0 sacks in 13 games. In 2018, McGary won the Morris Trophy as the Pac-12's best offensive lineman. The offensive line helped the Huskies rush for 179.9 yards per game (third in the Pac-12) and paved the way for RB Myles Gaskin to become the second player in NCAA-FBS history to rush for 1,200 yards in four consecutive seasons.
In his first season in Montlake in 2017, Huff mentored an offensive line that helped Gaskin rush for 1,380 yards and 21 touchdowns. Two of his linemen, Coleman Shelton and McGary, earned First-Team All-Pac-12 honors.
Prior to his time at Washington, Huff coached 11 seasons at his alma mater, Boise State (2006-16), under Chris Petersen. During his final season with the Broncos in 2016 as co-offensive coordinator and offensive line coach, his unit was a semifinalist for the Joe Moore Award, given to the top line in the nation, as Boise State placed two linemen on the All-Mountain West Conference First-Team. He also was a nominee for the Broyles Award, given to the assistant coach of the year. As co-offensive coordinator, the Broncos led the MWC in total offense (472.8 yards per game) and the offensive line allowed just 19.0 sacks in 13 games as Boise finished the year 10-3.
In 2015, Boise saw two offensive linemen earn First-Team All-MWC while a third picked up honorable mention. OL Rees Odhiambo was selected by the Seahawks in the third round of the 2016 NFL Draft while OL Marcus Henry signed with the Saints as an undrafted free agent. Huff moved back to coaching the offensive line in 2014 where the Boise State team ranked ninth in the nation in scoring (39.7) and 14th in total offense (494.3). They had one offensive lineman be named First-Team All-MWC (Henry) while another made the Second-Team (Odhiambo). From 2012-13, Huff was promoted to special teams coordinator on top of his duties as tight ends coach. Boise led the Mountain West in kickoff return average in 2012 with 26.0 yards per return. In 2013, the Broncos led the Mountain West in field goal percentage (89.5 percent) and punt return average (15.7 yards per return).
In two seasons back coaching the tight ends (2010-11), the Boise State offense ranked among the top-10 in both total offense and scoring. As the Broncos offensive line coach in 2007-09, Huff helped the Broncos finish 10-3 in 2007, 12-1 in 2008 and a perfect 14-0 in 2009. Over those three seasons, Boise State allowed an average of just 12.3 sacks per season. The 2009 team led the nation in scoring offense and gave up just five sacks all year. After having served as a graduate assistant coach at Arizona State following his playing career, Huff's first full-time coaching job came in 2006 when he joined Boise as the tight ends coach. The 2006 season ended with a perfect 13-0 record and a notable win over Oklahoma in the Fiesta Bowl. In his four-year playing career (1999-02) at Boise, Huff started 40 games at center and earned First-Team All-Western Athletic Conference as a senior. He helped lead the Broncos to a 12-1 overall record and the WAC championship. In 2005, he was named to the Broncos Stadium 35th Anniversary Team.
A native of Phoenix, Ariz., Huff earned his bachelor's degree in business administration in 2002 and his master's in secondary education from Arizona State in 2005. Huff and his wife, Shannon, have two sons, Scott III and Sullivan, and a daughter, Savannah.
