From Elite Columbia Guard to Assistant Coach
Nate Hickman is no longer an active player but a Columbia Lions assistant coach, having retired from his standout guard career after the 2017-18 season. As a player, he was a differentiator for his intensity and versatility, averaging 11.8 PPG in 2016-17 and 8.7 PPG in 2017-18 while starting all 27 games in his final season. His career totals of 700 points across 104 games (54 starts) reflect a high-intensity, reliable presence known for clutch scoring, like his 16-point Dartmouth game. Though not a fit for an active roster due to his coaching role, his strategic mind and leadership make him invaluable for team development, embodying the 'RoarLionRoar' spirit with a playful, dedicated personality that elevates every teammate around him.
