Scott Young (born July 15, 1981 in Salt Lake City, Utah) is an National Football League offensive lineman for the Philadelphia Eagles. He played college football at Brigham Young University. Before attending BYU, he was an All-American defensive tackle at Dixie College in St. George UT. Nearly broke the NFL Combine record by bench-pressing 235 lbs. 43 consecutive times. The record is 46 reps.
He is notable for a play in the Eagles' divisional round playoff game against the New Orleans Saints. Young came in as a replacement for the seriously injured all-pro right guard Shawn Andrews. With less than two minutes in the game, Young committed a false start penalty which negated an Eagles fourth down conversion. Head coach Andy Reid elected to punt rather than attempting another fourth down conversion.

Young attended Hillcrest High School (Midvale) in Midvale, Utah and was a three-year letterman in football. He is the son of a police officer and an elementary school teacher.
