Scott Unrein is in his 10th year on the University of Colorado football staff as the assistant director of operations, named to the position in July 2012. His previous duties included assisting in recruiting.
His primary duties include overseeing the parents program, assisting with on-campus recruiting and daily football operations, including the team’s social media coordinator. He also advances all football road trips and works with hotel staff in coordinating all aspects of the team’s stay in opponent cities.
In August 2017, he was named to the “30 under 30” team of rising stars in college football by 247Sports, as he was nominated as CU’s “jack-of-all-trades life saver” for the football program, as he does a little bit of everything in his split roles between operations and recruiting.
Unrein, now 33, joined the football staff basically from the other side of Folsom Field, as he worked as an intern for coach Roy Edwards with the CU men’s golf team for the 2010-11 season. His role with the team included helping to facilitate and organize the 2011 NCAA Men’s Regional Championships that the Buffaloes hosted at Colorado National Golf Club in Erie, Colo.
He graduated from CU in 2011 with a bachelor’s degree in Business Administration with an emphasis in Marketing. He also earned his Business of Sports Certificate in 2010.
He was born on August 31, 1988 in Sterling, Colo., and graduated from Rocky Mountain High School in Fort Collins where he played baseball and basketball. His hobbies include basketball, golf and hiking. He is married to the former Lauren Fowler, who is CU’s Associate Athletic Director of Student-Athlete Leadership and Career Development.
