Football...

November 24, 2012 was a sad day. This day marked the end of hard work, dedication, preparation, hours of watching film, morning meetings, lifting weights, running, drills, teammates, and memories. The past four years Nate put 110% into BEARCAT football. He focused his mind and effort on his teammates and coaches.

Needless to say, Nate had a great career as a Northwest Missouri State BEARCAT. Not only did he end his career playing the game he loves, but he met lifelong friends along the way. As it was hard for him to say goodbye to football, he remembers the good times and is grateful he had the opportunity to play.

Once a BEARCAT, Always a BEARCAT!

Great Season, Great Career

Love you!
