Shultz was a prominent All-American tackle for the Washington and Lee Generals of Washington and Lee University from 1912 to 1915.[3] He was renowned for his size at the time, somewhere between 6 feet 2 inches and 6 feet 4 inches.[4]
Shultz was the only freshman to make the varsity this season.[5] Shultz and captain Buck Miles were the tackles, a duo which "scintillated."[6]
Shultz was a member of the undefeated SAIAA champion 1914 team, which secured a share of the title when it finished the season with a victory over North Carolina A & M.[7] The team included College Football Hall of Fame inductee Harry "Cy" Young.
An account of the 10 to 0 victory over Swarthmore that year reads "Left tackle Ted Shultz starred for the victors making long gains on forward passes and effecting tackles that checked Swarthmore."[8]
He was captain of W&L's 1915 team.[7][9] During World War I, he played for Camp Jackson.
Shultz also played on the basketball team.
Shultz was once a secretary for the YMCA in Denver, Colorado,[10] and coached the freshman team of the University of Denver.[11][12]
