A senior running back and three year varsity starter, Nate played in only eight games last season due to injury, but he was still a major force in the Tigers winning its first ever Ohio Div. II football state championship. In his limited playing time, Nate managed 1,340 rushing yards (18 TDs) before the injury.

"Nate has a natural instinct when running the ball," says Coach Fred Cranford. "A very explosive and powerful running back, Nate is gifted with hips that allow him to move his body as quick as he see things open up. His break away speed and separation ability is best I have seen."

Nate earned numerous honors, including being named ECC Offensive Player of the Year, Cincinnati Div. II Player of the Year, Southwest Ohio District Div. II Offensive Player of the Year and Ohio Div. II Offensive Player of the Year. He was also a finalist for the Ohio National Guard Player of the Year, and has been named 1st team all-conference three times.

COACH'S QUOTE – "Nate is a true three dimensional back, powerful, shifty, scary fast. He is a tremendous student-athlete, leads by example in the classroom and on the field. A very high character example for his peers and teammates. Nate's continued drive, determination and ability has helped make him one of the top running backs in the State of Ohio."
— Fred Cranford, Football Coach
