SHIPPENSBURG, Pa. – Anthony Scott has been hired as a full-time assistant coach for the Shippensburg University football team. Scott will serve as the team's running backs coach.
 
"I am very pleased to have Coach Scott join our family," head coach Mark Maciejewski said. "He coaches with passion and energy and has more than a decade of experience at the collegiate level. His ideas and perspective will be beneficial to our players."
 
Scott arrives at Shippensburg from UNC Pembroke, where he served as an offensive line coach in 2021 and helped coach the Braves to a 6-5 record.
 
Before his time with UNC Pembroke, Scott spent five seasons at Lincoln as its associate head coach. His coaching duties with the Lions included the offensive line and tight ends. In his first season with Lincoln, he coached running back Stephen Scott to the first 1,000 yard (1,258) rushing season in school history.  In that same year (2015), the team set several school records, including all-purpose yards, rushing yards, and rushing touchdowns.
 
Prior to his time with Lincoln, Scott held several roles with Alfred State during two seasons with the Pioneers, including a stint as interim head coach. Scott also served as the offensive coordinator and offensive line coach. He mentored seven All-United Collegiate Athletic Association (UCAA) award winners during his time at Alfred State.
 
As a college athlete, Scott was a three-year letter winner with Georgia Southern. He was a key factor on the offensive line for a team that won four-straight Southern Conference championships as well as back-to-back NCAA Division 1-AA (now Division 1 FCS) National championships in 1999 and 2000 under head coach Paul Johnson. Scott was a member of a senior class that finished with a 52-7 record and averaged more than 48 points a game.
 

Tolbert is the new graduate assistant football coach
 
David Tolbert was hired as the graduate assistant football coach at Shippensburg University in January 2022. His primary coaching responsibilities will be with the defensive backs and special teams.
 
Tolbert arrives at Shippensburg after serving as an assistant coach at MSU Northern, a National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) school in Montana, where he instructed the defensive backs and was the co-special teams coordinator.
 
He played collegiately at San Diego (FCS), where he was a three-year starter and four-year letterman at cornerback for the Toreros. He was an integral member of a team that posted 32 straight conference victories and won the school's first playoff games at the FCS level.
