John Carl "Jack" Scarbath (born August 12, 1930 in Baltimore, Maryland) is a former professional American football quarterback in the National Football League for the Washington Redskins and Pittsburgh Steelers. He was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1983.
Scarbath was born in Baltimore, Maryland on August 12, 1930 and attended high school at the Baltimore Polytechnic Institute. He played football as a quarterback and basketball as a guard. At Poly, Scarbath came to the attention of former Maryland coach and then university president Harry C. Byrd, who offered him a full athletic scholarship.
As a freshman at the University of Maryland, Scarbath poured cement as a construction worker in the building of the school's Byrd Stadium. He later worked at a foundry, which also helped to keep him in shape for football.
In 1952, he was unanimously selected to the All-America first team and finished as the runner-up in votes for the Heisman Trophy. Scarbath was also Southern Conference Player of the Year and the South's Most Valuable Player in the North-South Game. He played lacrosse for Maryland during the 1952 season. Scarbath graduated from Maryland in 1954 with an industrial engineering degree.
