Scott Gragg Position: Tight Ends / Recruiting Coordinator

Scott, who is one of three current Griz coaches who are former standout players at Montana, returned to his alma mater two years ago. He coaches the tackles and tight ends.

He also held the crucial position as Montana's recruiting coordinator the past two-plus seasons.

He was one of the most outstanding football players in Grizzly history, earning All-America accolades at offensive tackle, and he also played in the National Football League for several seasons.

He returned to UM after serving a four-year stint as the head football coach at his former high school in his hometown of Silverton, Ore. He took his Silverton High School teams to the state playoffs twice (2007 and 2008). His 2008 prep squad won a first-round playoff game, the school's first since 1995.

He is the only player in school history to receive Montana's Paul Weskamp Award (Outstanding Offensive Lineman) three times, earning the award in 1992, 1993, and 1994.

He was a three-year starter for the Grizzlies and started in 38 games in a row his sophomore, junior, and senior seasons. He was an All-Big Sky Conference first team selection all three of the seasons that he started, and was also a three-time all-league academic team pick.

He started in the 1994 East-West Shrine Game and in the Senior Bowl. To date he is the only Montana player ever selected to play in the Senior Bowl. He was named to several All-American teams following his junior and senior campaigns.

"Lurch" played 11 seasons in the National Football League with the New York Giants, San Francisco 49ers, and New York Jets. He started in 151 NFL games, including 112 in a row. He was named to the NFL's All-Pro team in 2002 and received the Bobb McKittrick Award (Outstanding Offensive Lineman) while playing for the 49ers. Scott was a second round NFL draft pick in 1995 by the Giants.

In February of 2009 he and former Griz football All-American Steve Okoniewski (1970-71) were inducted into the Grizzly Sports Hall of Fame.

He is a 1995 graduate of Montana with a degree in mathematics. He attained his Masters in Teaching in 2009 at George Fox University in Newberg, Oregon.
