Aaron Scott Named Head Coach Of Racer Cheer

Murray State Athletics named Aaron Scott as the cheer coach for the Racers just in time for the 2018-19 school year.

Scott brings 19 years of experience and expertise in cheerleading, tumbling and gymnastics with teaching stops across the Commonwealth of Kentucky in Frankfort, Lexington, London and Murray. He is the owner and coach at the Universal Athletics in Murray where the Universal Kentucky Cheer Team has made numerous age-level appearances in national association events and claimed upwards of 50 national championships in the last 15 years. Scott often serves as a judge at national competitions.

"I am very excited to get the kids in and get the year started, train them up and help create excitement with Murray State Athletics," Scott said. "I've been in cheerleading my entire life and that's what my wife, Joelle, and I do, we love cheerleading and it's a big part of our lives. I'm very happy to be working with the student-athletes in our cheer program at Murray State."

Scott has certifications through the United States All Star Federation in all levels of cheerleading and his expertise makes him an obvious choice to become the head coach of the MSU cheer program.

He cheered at his alma mater Cumberland University and later professionally with the NBA Cleveland Cavaliers.

Scott is a 2000 Cumberland College graduate with a degree in business administration.

The first time Racer fans can see the cheer team perform will be at the football season and home opener against Southern Illinois (Aug. 30) at Roy Stewart Stadium. The kick off happens at 6 p.m.
