Coach Scott

Coach Jaden Scott is entering his 4th season as Head Coach of the Illinois Crusaders. During his leadership, the team has grown into a strong, Christ-centered program and earned back-to-back NHFA Division 4 National Championships in 2024 and 2025.

 

Coach Scott is committed to helping young men develop as athletes and as leaders, focusing on discipline, character, and purpose both on and off the field.

A lifelong Alabama fan, he draws inspiration from Nick Saban’s process-driven approach to leadership, and he grew up cheering for the Green Bay Packers.

 

He played running back and defensive back for CRU and holds a Bachelor of Science in Cybersecurity from Indiana Wesleyan University.

​

Coach Scott’s passion is creating a program where players feel supported, challenged, and part of a true brotherhood. His goal is to help every athlete reach their full potential while honoring Christ and representing the Crusaders with excellence.
