Thomas Wescott "Scott" Secules (born November 8, 1964) is a former professional American football quarterback who played in the National Football League (NFL) for the Dallas Cowboys, Miami Dolphins and the New England Patriots. He played college football at the University of Virginia.
Secules attended Chantilly High School, before moving on to the University of Virginia. After redshirting as a freshman, he became the backup quarterback behind Don Majkowski. The next year he started one game against North Carolina University, in place of a suspended Majkowski (for breaking team rules).
As a junior in 1986, Secules started 2 games with Majkowski out with an injured shoulder, he won both contests and received ACC offensive player of the week honors for his play against Wake Forest University.
Secules was named the starter in his final year and although the team began the season 3–4, it won 5 straight games to finish with an 8–4 record. He also led one of the greatest comebacks in school history, with a 17-7 deficit against North Carolina University in the final 4:44 minutes of the game, Secules passed for 2 touchdowns, en route to a 20-17 win. He received All-ACC honors, while helping the school achieve its first home undefeated season since 1951 and reach its second bowl game in history, where they defeated Brigham Young University 22-16 in the All-American Bowl, with Secules being named the game's Most Valuable Player.
