Scattini attended the University of California, Berkeley, where he played on the football team from 1959 to 1961 as a halfback.[1] In 1960, The Los Angeles Times characterized Scattini as California's best runner.[2] That same season, The Baltimore Sun noted that all three California halfbacks "are good-size but lack breakaway speed" and quoted coach Marv Levy as saying that the offense centered on the quarterback.[3]

After college, the Green Bay Packers of the National Football League selected Scattini in the 19th round of the 1962 NFL Draft as the 266th overall pick.[4]

The University of Nevada, Reno hired Scattini as its head football coach, a position he held from 1969 to 1975. His teams compiled a 37–36–1 record.[5] Scattini was fired in December 1975 after a 3–8 season and was replaced with UNLV assistant Chris Ault.[6] After football, Scattini entered business in finance.[7]
