Scot G. McCloughan (born March 1, 1971) is the general manager for the Washington Redskins of the National Football League (NFL). He was formerly the general manager of the San Francisco 49ers and a senior personnel executive for the Seattle Seahawks, helping both teams eventually reach the Super Bowl in the 2010s with rosters he helped assemble.
McCloughan was born in Alameda, California on March 1, 1971, and grew up in Loveland, Colorado. McCloughan is the son of Kent McCloughan, who was a cornerback for the Oakland Raiders in the late 1960s, and is the brother of Dave McCloughan, who also played defensive back in the NFL. Growing up, McCloughan took an interest in scouting football players, where he and his father Kent, who was also a longtime scout for the Raiders after his playing career, would watch college player tape off a film projector in their basement.
Prior to his career in American football, McCloughan played college baseball at Wichita State and participated in a couple of College World Series with the team. He later was drafted by the New York Mets in the 10th round of the 1989 MLB Draft, and the Toronto Blue Jays in the 10th round of the 1992 MLB Draft, although he never played in the major league for either team. However, McCloughan did play in the minor leagues, playing outfielder for the St. Catharines Blue Jays, Hagerstown Suns, and Dunedin Blue Jays from 1992 to 1994.
