Scott Bostwick, an Omaha North High School graduate, ranks as one of the best defensive players in Nebraska Wesleyan football history. A dominant linebacker from 1981-84, Bostwick compiled 408 career tackles, a mark which stands third in the NWU all-time records.
Bostwick led the Plainsmen in total tackles for three consecutive seasons, earning him two spots on the team’s single-season charts as well. His 159 stops as a sophomore are the fourth most in team history, while his 145 tackles as a senior still rank sixth all-time. During his career, Bostwick received a pair of All-Conference Second Team awards, an All-Conference First Team selection, two NAIA District 11 All-District Honorable Mention honors and four varsity letters.
As a junior, Bostwick helped NWU earn a share of the conference championship and national rankings in NAIA Division II that reached as high as No. 11. The 1983 squad finished with a 7-3 overall record, which tied the school record for wins at the time.
In addition to competing for the Plainsmen, Bostwick also served as a coach for five seasons. Bostwick coached under Orson Christensen from 1985-86 and under Jim Svoboda from 1987-89. As a coach, Bostwick helped NWU claim three league titles with a 20-5 conference record during his five-year stint on the coaching staff.
