Bio

Nick Schaeflein took over as the Sports Information Director at Judson University in August of 2023. He will be responsible for managing the production, content, and marketing of the University's Athletic Department and its 22 sports programs. 
 
Schaeflein will lead a staff that is responsible for tracking and capturing all of the stats and results from all home athletic events, editing and producing web content, and managing the athletic social media accounts. He will also contribute to other projects within the athletic department, such as the Hall of Fame inductions, and assist elsewhere on campus when needed. 
 
Over the last decade, Schaeflein has covered sports across all levels as a camera operator, sports writer, and statistician. Most recently, he has done freelance work at schools such as Trinity Christian College, and Northern Illinois University.
 
In addition, Schaeflein has spent the last six seasons coaching baseball and softball at the high school level developing a consistent approach to game preparation and analytics. 
 
A constant student of the game, and a fan of any good inspirational quote or sports cliche, his passion and excitement will shine through in this role. "I care for and appreciate all of the players that I have had the chance to work with over the last few years. They helped shape who I am. Now I get to care for and represent an entire athletics program, and that is a huge honor." 
 
"Nick has been eagerly awaiting an opportunity to serve in the role of SID at the University level.  His well rounded experience in sports and communications makes him an ideal fit for our Athletic program.  We are excited to welcome him to our Administrative staff and anticipate great things from him in the coming year!" says Athletic Director Rick Williams. 
 
Schaeflein graduated from Aurora University with a Bachelor's Degree in Communications. He is a native of Joliet, Illinois, and currently resides in Yorkville, Illinois with his wife Amy, and two daughters, Aubree and Maci.
