Scott Petcu ’95 was a force on the defensive side of the ball for the Valpo football program from 1990 through 1993.

Scott concluded his four-year collegiate career with 507 career tackles to establish a program record. A Sports Network Division I-AA Honorable Mention All-American as a senior in 1993, Scott was selected as a First Team All-Pioneer Football League choice at linebacker in the league’s inaugural season and led the PFL with 134 total tackles in 10 games.

He also earned Division I-AA Non-Scholarship National Player of the Week honors from Football Gazette as a senior following a win against Michigan Tech in which he made 16 tackles. Three of his four seasons he ranked among Valpo’s all-time top five in single-season tackle totals, highlighted by his 167 total tackles as a sophomore in 1991 — which established the program record.

Scott, who posted 333 solo tackles during his four years, also holds the team record with a 100-yard interception return for two points on a failed two-point conversion.

A 1995 graduate of Valparaiso University with a bachelor’s degree in communications, Scott is currently self-employed as a small business owner.
