Nugent continues his professional lacrosse career, as well, as he is a member of Major League Lacrosse's (MLL) Denver Outlaws. He is Mercer’s first-ever professional lacrosse player.

While at Goucher Mike hopes to “elevate the level of lacrosse as well as the understanding for the game, all while mentoring and teaching student-athletes a good understanding for morality and life beyond lacrosse".
