After leaving Montreat College to move back home to be closer to family, Jason Scott joined Wittenberg University's track and field coaching staff in 2024 to serve as the men’s and women’s pole vault coach, bringing with him 17 years of college coaching experience.

As an assistant at Montreat, Scott helped the track & field program achieve plenty of success. On the women's side in indoor track and field, Scott helped coach 32 athletes to All-Appalachian Athletic Conference (AAC) performances, five conference championship efforts, nine NAIA national qualifiers, and two NAIA All-American showings. Outdoors, he helped coach the Montreat women to 16 All-AAC efforts, two conference champions, eight NAIA national qualifiers, and two NAIA All-American outings. With the Montreat men indoors, Scott helped coach athletes to 106 All-AAC performances, 25 conference championships, 30 NAIA national qualifiers, and 17 NAIA All-Americans. Outdoors, he aided the men to 68 All-AAC efforts, 15 individual conference championship outings, 38 NAIA national qualifiers, and 10 NAIA All-Americans. During that time, the Cavaliers claimed a total of eight AAC Staff of the Year awards.

Scott went to Montreat after four years as an assistant track & field coach at his alma mater, Cedarville University. Prior to returning to Cedarville, the Clayton, Ohio, native served on the coaching staff at Hannibal-LaGrange University in Missouri from 2009-2013. Over nine years at HLGU and Cedarville, Scott coached many athletes to top results in the track & field ranks. In 2013, he coached Nickola Shingles to the individual title in the 60-meter hurdles at the 2013 NAIA National Championships, setting a national championships record of 7.86. Shingles went on to win the national title again two years later. Scott also coached two additional national champions in the pole vault. Easton Padden was a three-time national champion (PR 17'7"), while Nicholas Homan also earned a title (PR 17'9). In his career as a pole vault coach, Scott has guided 10 male athletes to heights of 17 feet and 10 females to heights of 11 feet.

Scott is a 2007 graduate of Cedarville University, where he was a decorated track & field athlete in numerous events. Scott found his greatest success in the pole vault where he was a two-time NAIA Indoor National Champion while also winning the Outdoor National Championship once. He was a five-time NAIA All-American in the event. Scott also owns the indoor (17'8.50") school record at Cedarville and previously held the outdoor record until 2019. Aside from pole vault, Scott was able to have much success in the hurdles, long jump, and javelin for the Jackets. Scott was recently inducted into the Athletic Hall of Fame at Cedarville University in 2022 and at Dayton Christian in 2023.

Scott has remained competitive since graduation and is working towards competing at the Masters Indoor World Championships in 2025. In 2007, he was chosen to represent the USA in Taiwan at the Chinese International Track Meet. He also qualified for the 2009 and 2010 USA Indoor Championships, placing as high as fourth, and qualified for the 2010 Outdoor Championships. Scott comes from a strong family background of track & field. His father Phil has been a coach for over forty years and is a former US National Champion in the Pentathlon along with two-time Olympic Trials qualifier in the decathlon.

Scott earned a degree in sports and exercise studies with a minor in Bible from Cedarville University in 2007, and he achieved a master's degree in sports coaching from the United States Sports Academy in 2011. Jason and his wife, Bethany (Davies), live in the area with their sons, Kade Farnsworth and Kruz Patrick. Bethany, a 2009 Cedarville graduate, had an illustrious collegiate career in her own right earning five All-American honors as a sprinter for the Lady Jackets.
