‘Outstanding work ethic’ led Boise native on unique path to Idaho football assistant

When Jamie Schultz and his friends would get together in first grade to play football at Cynthia Mann Elementary in Boise, Schultz brought along his own playbook.

From even those early days, coaching was something that Schultz wanted to do, a path he pursued despite not even playing in college.

A 2011 graduate of Bishop Kelly High, Schultz was named Idaho’s new inside linebackers coach last month, his first full-time staff position.

“I kind just always wanted to do this, making up plays, playing video games, seeing those great Boise State teams when I was growing up, I wanted to be part of college football,” Schultz said.
