Scott Dreisbach (born December 16, 1975 in South Bend, Indiana) was an American football quarterback who last played for the Columbus Destroyers of the Arena Football League. He played quarterback at Penn High School in Mishawaka, Indiana.

[edit] College career

Dreisbach played college football at the University of Michigan and is best remembered for his performance in his first game as a Wolverine, the 1995 Pigskin Classic against Virginia. In Lloyd Carr's debut as Michigan head coach, the Wolverines trailed 17-0 at home in the fourth quarter before the redshirt freshman Dreisbach engineered three scoring drives, the last culminating with a touchdown pass to Mercury Hayes as time expired for a 18-17 Michigan victory. Dreisbach set Michigan records for pass attempts (52) and passing yards (372) in the game; both marks have since been broken.

Dreisbach was saddled with injuries later in the 1995 season and was replaced by Brian Griese. Dreisbach served as Michigan's starting quarterback for most of 1996, but gave way to Griese once again at the end of the season and saw limited action as a backup to Griese in 1997. Dreisbach was expected to start his senior season in 1998, but lost his starting job to redshirt junior Tom Brady and shared backup duties with true freshman Drew Henson.

[edit] Professional career

Between 1999 and 2003, Dreisbach spent time on the rosters of three NFL teams, the Oakland Raiders, the Buffalo Bills, and the Detroit Lions, but never saw any regular season action. From 2003 to 2008, he played in the Arena Football League. Dreisbach is currently retired from playing football and works as a flooring salesman based in Wayland, Michigan.^{[citation needed]}
