Joining the Oswego State coaching staff for the 2025-2026 year, Nate Schultzkie brings a wealth of experience and enthusiasm to the Laker lacrosse program. He will work with Oswego’s offensive unit and oversee team workouts throughout the year.
A 2021 SUNY Oswego grad, Nate earned an undergraduate degree in technology management with a minor in business administration. He played four years as a defensive short-stick midfielder under former Laker coach Drew Bezek and, in a COVID-shortened playing career, played in 32 games, collected 23 ground balls, and caused 14 turnovers.
An accomplished box lacrosse player, Nate has proven himself a talented and sought-after player. Starting out with the Onondaga Red Hawks Jr B team and then the Armory squad of the UCBL, he has also played for the Syracuse Spark (PBLL), the Salt City Eels (IBLL), and the Oswego River Hawks (NABLL). More recently he has played Sr B box for the Onondaga Red Hawks and for the Peterborough Timbermen of the ALL. In various tournaments he has played for the Snake Island Muskies, the More Dudes, the Code Talkers, and in the Ales Hrbesky Memorial in Prague, Czech Republic, he played for the Megamen in 2023 and again in 2024.
Nate is employed at the Novelis plant in Oswego as a mechanical technologist and lives in Minetto, NY.
