Returning to the Heidelberg sidelines for his seventh season is Scott Donaldson. He serves as the co-defensive coordinator, with a focus on the linebackers, a position he has overseen since joining the program.
Under Donaldson’s guidance the linebacker core has paced the Berg defense. In each of Donaldson’s six seasons at least three of his linebackers have ranked in the top-five on the team in tackles every year.
Donaldson coached All-Ohio Athletic Conference performer Jeff Stiffler to his second-straight all-league honor in 2004 and added Vaughn Klein to the list of All-OAC performers in 2008.
Prior to joining the staff at the Berg, Donaldson was the State University of New York at Brockport linebackers and defensive backs assistant coach in 2003.
Donaldson was an outside linebacker for the SUNY Brockport Golden Eagles, leading them to the NCAA Division III playoffs in three-straight seasons.
Donaldson earned his bachelor of science degree in history and political science at SUNY Brockport in 2003 and a masters of arts in education from Heidelberg in 2006.
He originally hails from Tonawanda, N.Y. and currently resides in Republic, Ohio with his wife Kelly and their son Connor.
