Scott Eddy is in his 10th year with St. Bonaventure Athletic Communications. He was promoted to his current role as Assistant Athletics Director for Strategic Communications in 2020.
Under Eddy's direction, St. Bonaventure's social media interaction totals have frequently ranked atop all Atlantic 10 members and among the national leaders despite the university having one of the smallest enrollments in all of Division I.
In addition to his Athletic Communications responsibilities, Eddy is the sport administrator for Bonnies men’s and women’s cross country/track and is also the secondary sport administrator for baseball.
During his coverage of St. Bonaventure Athletics, he has promoted 50 All-Conference student-athletes as well as 60 academic All-Conference and All-District honorees, highlighted by four Academic All-Americans, including two First Team Academic All-America selections. He led the publication efforts for the 2021-22 men's basketball Atlantic 10 regular season and tournament champions, a squad that ranked as high as No. 16 nationally on the way to one of the most successful seasons in program history.
He has received numerous honors from College Sports Communicators (formerly CoSIDA) for his writing and coverage of Bonnies student-athletes and programs.
In May 2016, he was honored with the 2015-16 Fred Stabley, Sr. National Story of the Year Award for his profile on Bona softball player Katie Sinclair's donation of bone marrow to a complete stranger. In 2017, he was honored for producing the top blog in District 1 (Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York, Rhode Island, Vermont, New Brunswick, Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, and Quebec) for his work chronicling the St. Bonaventure women's basketball team's run in the NCAA Tournament. In 2018, he was honored for a fourth straight year with the top student-athlete feature in District 1. Most recently, his writing earned two more district awards in 2023. He previously received top district honors for student-athlete profiles during his tenure at Bloomsburg University as well.
During the 2017 NCAA Men's Basketball Basketball Tournament, he served as a media relations assistant at the first and second round games in Buffalo, handling game notes for the site.Â
Eddy joined SBU in September 2015 after spending the previous two years as the Assistant Sports Information Direcor at Bloomsburg (Pa.) University. As the primary contact for the Huskies football program, he helped spearhead the promotion of running back Franklyn Quiteh who won the Harlon Hill Award representative of the top player in Division II. The Huskies captured 19 All-America awards in 2013, most in school history, and also had finalists for nearly every major award in Division II including the Gene Upshaw Award (top lineman), Cliff Harris Award (top small-school defensive player) and Fred Mitchell Award (top place-kicker). While overseeing baseball, Eddy helped promote the first Daktronics All-Atlantic Region First Team selection in program history. Bloomsburg's women's basketball program also had Catherine Noack become the first multiple All-America honoree in recent memory while the women's soccer program scored two All-Region recipients.Â
Prior to Bloomsburg, Eddy spent two years as a graduate assistant in the Sports Information office at fellow PSAC institution Edinboro University. At Edinboro, he was the primary contact for the Fighting Scots' nationally-ranked women's basketball squads during the team's back-to-back NCAA Tournament appearances including a run to the Sweet 16 and Atlantic Regional hosting duties in 2012. He also served as the women's soccer contact as the Fighting Scots made their second-ever appearance in the NCAA Tournament in 2012. He also handled primary coverage duties for softball and volleyball.
Before getting his start in the collegiate sports information field, he served two and a half years as the sports editor for the Chautauqua Star newspaper in Western New York. Prior to his time in sports journalism, he spent two seasons in the front office of the Jamestown Jammers, the New York-Penn League affiliate of the Miami Marlins, working in media relations before transitioning to the role of Director of Baseball Operations when the Jammers reached the NYPL Championship Series in 2008. He also worked as the team's play-by-play announcer from 2009-2012 and has been on the radio call for various high school sports including the Babe Ruth World Series on four occasions, most recently in August 2018.
A 2008 graduate of St. Bonaventure University with a bachelor's degree in Journalism and Mass Communication, Eddy earned his Master's Degree in Communication Studies at Edinboro in May 2013.Â
Eddy is a member of College Sports Communicators. A native of Ashville, N.Y., he currently resides in Olean.
