It is apparent when you watch Nathan’s tape from his sophomore to his junior season the skillsets that have improved quickly for him at the linebacker position. He certainly shows that has hands have gotten softer and more smooth getting off blocks. The 6’1 195 pounder from Oakes, also is more sudden off the snap downhill to the ball carrier. Adding these few items to his already blue-collar motor, pave well into our LB5 heading into the 2026 season.

Nathan is the linebacker that intrigues me with his vision to the ball which is why as a newcomer, he came thru as our LB2 in our 2027 rankings out of Oakes. The 6’1 195 pounder, I like how he processes getting downhill and utilzing his instincts showing off solid pursuit angles and fluidity with shedding ability getting off blocks. The upside is certainly there for this young man to make a leap in this 2027 class.
