Shukie begins his sixth season with the Polar Bears and will coach the quarterbacks this fall. Most recently the coach of the wide receiver corps at Bowdoin, Shukie led a unit that accumulated a school-record 2,394 yards in 2009 and averaged over 200 yards per game again in 2010.

He came to Bowdoin following stints at Johns Hopkins and King’s College. A 2005 graduate of Johns Hopkins, Shukie’s playing career was cut short due to injuries, but he took up assistant coaching duties for the Blue Jays, who captured three Centennial Conference Championships during his tenure.  A native of West Hartford, Connecticut, Shukie’s older brother John ‘99 played football for Bowdoin.
