A classic recruiting story represented by Hoffman Estates 2025 future LB Nathan Cleveland Nathan Cleveland Nathan Cleveland 6'1" | 200 lbs | DB Hoffman Estates | 2025 State IL here. Established FBS offeree and rising senior earns that vaunted and elusive first P4 offer in-person and during the Summer Camp SZN. A 6’3, 215 lb. high school safety who is heading closer to the line of scrimmage in college, Cleveland attended the Wayne State Mega Camp in Michigan and came into the event with 16 FBS and FCS offers. His performance netted him Central Michigan, Minnesota, Kent State, and Western Michigan offers, and that momentum carried him into additional offers from Kansas State and New Hampshire. The Golden Gophers were in contact for a while, and the relationship quickly gained steam, as he visited the Gophers Summer Splash on an official visit and committed to Minnesota less than two weeks later. All of his hard work culminated in that camp performance in Detroit, and Cleveland reached out and took it.

A noticeably large presence at the strong safety position, Cleveland opens his tape with a brutal suplex of a tackle to set a tone of physicality, and he’s a turnover-minded defender who does a great job of ripping at and attacking the football when a ball carrier is held up. The now-215 lber. is a rangy defender who finds most of his work and action inside the box, but can cover a ton of ground in pursuit and in run support. He displays plentiful closing speed, takes good angles to the football, runs the alley effectively, and is a comfortable and effective tackler in space and in 1v1 settings. Cleveland accelerates out of a dead stop with noticeable pace, can come downhill and halt ball carriers in their tracks, and is a strong and aggressive tackle. Gophers got a good one, and we have yet another Summer Camp SZN success story.
